Hallmarks for London, 1780
makers mark ‘VM’ ,
actually ‘WA’ for William Abdy, London

Condition: some silver repairs to lips, leg bent, re-attached handle loop, glass bottles appear to be 5 original & 1 replacement, stoppers replacements with 2 probable originals
The maker’s ‘VM / WA’ mark is curious, and attribution on p236 of the ‘Clark Art Institute’ book (1997) illustrates a 1779 London mustard pot with the same upside-down Willaim Abdy of London mark attribution.
