Very solid Sheffield Plate silver wine cooler. Made in England, early 19th century. 9 1/2inches tall. Removable top. Ring in the bottom to hold wine bottle securely. Urn shape on round foot. Fluted decoration to sides, base and handle. Beaded inner rim to top. Rich repousse vineleaf and shell decoration around outer rim shows first quality workmanship. Magnificent handles, curve up gently, fluted with an overlay of foliage. Each handle is connected to the body of the wine cooler by a fantastic satyr''s mask with long ears, hooked nose, foliage for hair and waving beard. Like most early Sheffield silver, there are no hallmarks. The quality of the actual silver is fabulous with a minimum of bleeding on the rim of the foot, showing the copper underneath.
