The Bowl stands on a circular spreading foot which is decorated with reeding. The main body is plain in design with an attractive baluster form and is engraved with a contemporary "Lion Rampant" Crest. The sides then rise to an everted rim. The stepped pull off cover has a finely beaded rim and rises to a circular raised central section, which doubles as the foot of the tray, when in use. The Bowl is fully marked in the foot and with the maker's mark and sterling mark on the cover. This piece is in excellent condition, with a good colour. Samuel Taylor was a specialist maker of Tea Caddies and Sugar Bowls and was apprentice to the Caddy maker John Newton. He had workshops in Maiden Lane, Wood Street, London, when this bowl was made. Taylor had an unusual maker's mark of his initials entwined in Gothic script.
Height: 4 inches, 10cm.
Diameter at the rim: 3.45 inches, 8.63 cm.
