Lot 212: Two silver-plated hollowware vessels comprising a twin-handled wine cooler and a footed pitcher

A pair of silver-toned metal hollowware vessels. The group consists of a large, footed wine cooler or urn and a footed pitcher. The wine cooler is designed with a flared, gadrooned rim and a matching gadrooned circular foot. It features two ornate C-scroll handles at the sides, each embellished with acanthus leaf motifs. The interior of the urn is polished, showing some internal copper-coloured wear through the plating. The accompanying pitcher is constructed with a wide, flared pouring lip and a scroll handle featuring a decorative thumb rest. The body of the pitcher is supported on four cast, decorative foliate feet. Both items exhibit a high-polish finish.
