EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a magnificent collection of silver and porcelain rarities, as featured in the Illustrated London News in 1856. The centerpiece of this exquisite display is a crystal cup, delicately nestled within a silver frame and stand. To the left, a stunning vase of pale green hue catches the eye, intricately mounted in or-moulu style. Behind this, a silver plinth showcases a Bacchanalian subject, adding an air of mythology to the collection. The tall, narrow vessel or jar, to the right of the centerpiece, is a Chelsea ware treasure, its elegant design a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The next object, the reliquary called Thomas a Becket's Pall, is a silver artifact, believed to have been used for religious purposes. A silver vessel, shaped like a sailing ship, is situated next, designed for the use of condiments or salt. The corresponding object on the left is an Oriental essence-sprinkler, its elegant form an intriguing contrast to the sailing vessel. The small ivory cup on the right of the center vase is finely carved, adding a touch of natural beauty to the collection. The large tankard at the back is a silver masterpiece, adorned with bold relief figures, raised and chased, making this a truly remarkable group of silver and porcelain rarities from the Sibthorp Collection.
