Tapering lobed on openwork scrolling foliage-cast feet, the sides chased with latticework within reeded ribs, the lower body chased with palm leaves and the upper body with flower bouquet on shell ground, the side handles cast with leaves, the rim with coral motif, engraved on underside of base and on liner with a crest below an earl's coronet on one side and the Royal crest within Garter motto on the other, marked underneath and on liners, stamped on rim '3' and on liner '4'

11 in. (28 cm.) high
146 oz. 6 dwt. (4,551 gr.)
The crest is that of Villiers, probably for George William, 4th Earl of Clarendon K.G. (1800-1870), possibly for his embassy to Madrid in 1833. George Villiers entered the diplomatic service at a very young age becoming attaché to the British Embassy in St. Petersburg in 1820. His reputation was secured by the masterful way he conducted his negotiations during his Spanish embassy of 1833 and the subsequent treaty in 1834. He received the Order of the Bath in 1837 and in 1847 was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland and served during the difficult time of the famine. He returned to England in 1852 having been made a Knight of the Order of the Garter whilst unusually being allowed to retain the Order of the Bath.
