ENGLISH STERLING SILVER GEORGIAN WINE COASTER

Pleased to offer this wonderful example of Georgian silver in the form of a wine coaster. One of the most beautiful coasters I have aquired. Made by William Plumber who was known for his excellent skill at reticulated pieces.
Of classic and standard style, displaying a fine hand reticulated pattern comprised of interconnecting swags and curls that encircle the coaster. A gadrooned swag pattern forms the rim of the piece. The base collar seats well on the circular wood base.  The felt has been replaced at some point.

The coaster measures 5 1/2 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall, and sits firm & level. The coaster weighs 189 grams. clearly punched with the lion passant for assayed English silver, a city code of a leopard's head with crown for London, a date letter of "P" for 1770, and a rubbed makers mark showing the P and part of the W for William Plumber.
