Summary
Cover of an oval tureen, sterling silver, by Frederick Kandler, London, 1752/3. The domed cover is shaped to conform to the base with a seamed bezel. Above a simple moulded rim is a chased band of scrollwork around a ribbed lambrequin fringe and with floral medallions at the corners. Another cast reed-and-tie band divides off the top of the dome which is liberally applied with cast and chased vegetables including artichokes, cabbage, celery, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, parsnips, carrots, bound asparagus, swede and beetroot. The cast finial handle is in the form of the Hervey crest - an ounce, or snow leopard, ducally collared and chained, holding a trefoil.
