This is an attractive Edwardian Cut Glass Dressing Table Pot with a Sterling Silver lid. The pot is oval with small triangular buttresses on either side and hobnail cut decoration around the body. The lid has embossed scroll decoration surrounding a blank cartouche and a crimped rim.

The dressing table pot is made by silversmiths J & R Griffin in Birmingham and assayed in Chester in 1907. Brothers Joseph & Richard Griffin founded their firm in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter in 1895 but a large percentage of their work was assayed in Chester. They made a wide range of silverware before they ceased trading in 1926.

Condition is very good, with no chips or cracks in the glass and no dings or dents in the silver lid. There is just the superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The pot is 7.9cm / 3.1ins long, 3.4cm / 1.3ins wide and stands 3.2cm / 1.2ins high. The lid by itself weighs 8.0g / 0.28oz of solid Sterling Silver and all together it weighs in at 73.6g / 2.6oz.

The hallmarks on the side of the lid are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the sword and three wheatsheaves assay mark for Chester, the script date letter G for 1907 and the J & R G makers' mark for J & R Griffin.
