Post by: johan.johan on January 18, 2013, 01:59:32 PM
Hello!

I am wondering what this could be worth, could anyone help me? :)
Does it look genuine?

Attach a couple of pics.

Thank you :)

Personal opinion is, due to the shape and style of the cup and handles,  this is more likely earlier - 1776 - and not Britton, who is noted for cutlery and flatware.

A clearer image of the makers monogram, please !

It's Richard Bayley, as it's even earlier - 1736. Well polished though ! Here's one similar.

A few hundred pounds, although the one you pictured has been heavily polished which detracts it somewhat.

A few hundred could be 300, could be 600, but it has been polished
