Summary
Base of an oval tureen, sterling silver, by Frederick Kandler, London, 1752/3. The shaped oval bombé base of the tureen rests on four cast and applied foliate scroll feet, the foliage continuing around the lower edge of the body, intertwining at either end with scroll and rocaille-work that rises around root vegetables to the shell and leaf handles. All this detail is cast and applied as are the coats of arms on either side with asymmetrical shields which rise above shells and have chased mantled backgrounds. Also chased is the lambrequin fringe with repeating ovals and flutes and corner floral medallions below a cast and chased reed-and-tie rim. The underside has been cut out of the tureen base around the peripheral scrollwork. Heraldry: On either side of the tureen base is the cast, chased and engraved quartered shield, supporters and motto of the 2nd Earl of Bristol beneath an earl’s coronet and against a chased ermine mantling.
