Description
Set of Four Early George III Sterling Silver Salt Cellars

hallmarked London, 1763-1764, by Robert Hennell I & David Hennell I (fl. 1763-1772) , oval cauldron form with wavy gadrooned rim, decorated with wavy flutes and gadroons, raised on four shell-crested scroll-and-shell feet, engraved with the crest of De Mandeville et al. (on a mound, a stag current regardant).
h. 2-1/8", l. 3-1/4", w. 2-3/4"; 17.94 total t. oz.

Literature: Percy Hennell, Hennell Silver Salt Cellars, 1736 to 1876 (East Grubstead, Sussex: BLA Publishing & the author, 1986), p. 41, pl. 16 (illustrated).
Arthur G. Grimwade, London Goldsmiths, 1697-1837: Their Marks and Lives, Third Edition (London: Faber & Faber, 1990), pp. 543 & 753.
Condition
**In generally good condition. One cellar has a slight compression dent where the foot meets the body, resulting in a slight "wobble"; the same salt has a few dings and tiny dents on the fluting/gadrooning on one side. Otherwise no issues noted beyond the expected light surface bumps and scuffs consistent with age. A handsome set.
