Estimate value
£ 2 000 – 3 000
Tapering cylindrical on spreading foot, the lower body chased with acanthus, with scroll handles, the detachable cover chased with foliage, the bud finial wrapped in foliage, engraved with a coat-of-arms, engraved inside the cover with initials W*D and on underside of body M*M /W*D, marked underneath and on cover, engraved with scratch weight inside the cover 8:10 and underneath the body 21:10
93/4 in. (24.7 cm.) wide

The arms are those of Moseley impaling Acton, for Walter Moseley (1646-1712) of The Mere, Enville, co. Stafford and his wife Jane (1658-1743), daughter and eventual heiress of William Acton, third son of Sir Edward Acton 1st. Bt. of Aldenham. Walter was High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1711.
The initials MM under the foot are possibly for Michael Moseley (d.1757) of of Astbury, Chelmarsh, Shropshire, one of the sons of Walter Moseley (1646-1712) and his wife Jane.
The initials WD on the cover and under the foot are possibly for Walter Dovey (d.1761), of Claverley, Shropshire, a nephew of Michael Moseley (d.1757). The Dovey family seems to have had a connection with the Glynnes of Harwarden as the Glynne archive, held in the National Library of Wales, contains a large number of legal papers relating to the legal practice of Walter Dovey's brother Rupert Dovey (d.1771).
