This very rare Creamboat stands on three paw feet which are attached to the main body with detailed lion mask mouldings. The main body is plain in design, with a slightly baluster form and finely shaped edge. The handle is modelled as a very detailed dolphin which was a design peculiar to Newcastle at this date, and examples very seldom come onto the market. This piece is in excellent condition, is well marked, has a good colour and is of an excellent gauge of silver. A desirable piece of English Provincial silver.
