Object Detail
Description
jug, hot water, baluster body with domed lid chased with ribbons and swags, flowers and foliage, double scroll ivory handle.
Made by the Swedish-born silversmith Andrew Fogelberg (born about 1732; died about 1815), who was established in London by the 1770s. His Church Street workshop was near that of the gem engraver and modeller James Tassie (1735-1799), and it is probable that he relied directly on Tassie's glass paste reproductions of classical gemstones for his models.
