Argyll

Usk (Factory)

Eliptical, with curved sides and concave shoulder. Applied with a plain curved spout, metal handles with spur issues from two sockets. The hinged lid is domed and surmounted by an oval finial. Dark chocolate japan decorated both sides with formalised floral sprays and a continuous band of intersecting circles, all in silver. The lid with a star in silver radiating from the finial. The application of a clear varnish has resulted in a golden tinged surface appearance. Black japan to handle and underside of base.
