Summary
Dish cover, sterling silver, Frederick Kandler, London, 1768/9. The cover is raised and has a stepped base conforming to the dish. The base terminates in a chased band of gadrooning and the cover rises as an oval convex dome to another chased gadroon band, then rises again in reverse form to an applied flat top plate, the joint concealed by a cast and seamed moulding. The cast and chased tendril handle is capped by a single flower and held on by a silver bolt and nut. Heraldry: On the front of the cover are engraved the quartered arms of the Hanoverian monarchs (pre-1801) within the Garter and beneath an imperial crown flanked by the initials G R.
