GEORGE III SILVER PIERCED SERVER Charles Aldridge & Henry Green, London, 1773 original turned wood handle with finely engraved collar at ferrule

RARE EARLY GEORGE III SILVER PIERCED SERVER WITH SILVER HANDLE Thomas Nash, London, 1765 The blade verso crested with a squirrel sejant cracking a nut, and Gadsby and No 1 (Fairbairns 135.7 – Amcot, Barrow, Gilbert, Lee et al);
(The second half of the 18th century saw the introduction of a trowel-form pierced server, used at the time for both fish and pudding. The workmanship on the early examples is rather extraordinary - with intricate foliate-cut designs to the triangular blade, further embellished with bright cutting. They are now used for serving a great variety of foods - most particularly pastries. These triangular forms are the most sought after of the fish serving pieces.)
The Fork :
PAIR OF GEORGE I HANOVERIAN SILVER 3-TINE DESSERT FORKS W Over ? (Probably for William Scarlett) London, 1724 the terminal verso engraved with the arms of an unknown family impaling Moore (also More, Moor, Muir or Mure)
