A GEORGE II KETTLE ON STAND WITH BURNER
and a leather-clad swing handle, the kettle with a repousse work upper body, cast bird mask spout and a bud finial, engraved on each side with a coat of arms *, the cast 3 legged stand engraved once with the same arms, by Edward Wakelin, London 1747, scratch-weight "77-16"; 14.5" (37 cms) high overall; 77 oz

*Arms of Balch impaling Everard for Robert Balch (1724-1779) of St. Audries, Somerset and Susan Everard who married on 29th August 1744. The kettle was made in 1747, the year that Edward Wakelin went into partnership with George Wickes. The Wickes & Wakelin journals record an account for Robert Balch as debtor and together with a quantity of other silver, he purchased this kettle on 2nd June 1748. The journal gives the weight of the silver items (77:16:8/3 for a tea kettle & lamp) and the cost of engraving. Incidentally the weight of the silver is still correct to within the ounce. It seems likely that Robert Balch's order for the silver can be tied to his marriage to Susan Everard.

A RARE EARLY 18TH CENTURY AMERICAN MUG
of baluster form with a spreading circular foot and a cast, double scroll handle, maker's mark struck once on the base, centrally, by John Burt of Boston, Mass. 1730-45; 5.3" (13.4 cms) high; 10.5 oz
*John Burt (1691-1745), son of William & Elizabeth Burt who was born in Boston on January 5th 1691-92. He married Abigail Cheever in 1714 and three of their sons, William (1726-52), Samuel (1724-54) and Benjamin (1729-1805) followed in their father's footsteps and became silversmiths. John Burt was constable, tithing man and clerk of the market and left a considerable estate valued at £6460.4.9. There seems to be a divide as to whom Burt served his apprenticeship with, largely due to a lack of real evidence. Likely candidates seem to be either John Dixwell (1680-1725) or John Coney (1652-1722) who is considered by many as the greatest American silversmith. One of Coney's apprentices was Appollos de Rivoire who changed his name to Paul Revere and was father to the Paul Revere of American Revolution fame, who besides making his "midnight ride" carrying news of the British Army's advancement he was also an exceptional silversmith.
