The Victorians had a habit of &quot;improving&quot; lovely old simple Georgian silver by bashing at it with an embossing tool. Damn their eyes. I&#039;ve a little 1780 ish cream jug which was got at&nbsp; by a muppet in about 1870. </p><p><br /></p><p>The feet are fine, very typical of the early 19th.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the handles are as well. And the snake head spout. The handles and spout consort very nicely indeed and have the same feel. But the rest would have been so elegantly plain. All the floriferousness is nonsense. </p><p><br /></p><p>Doesn&#039;t mean it isn&#039;t pretty and I suspect in some markets, especially Middle Eastern or Eastern European it would sell well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
