As more trade routes opened up during the 16th century, materials such as the coconut became more widely available, though still only afforded to the wealthy minority in Europe and England. And, while they eventually lost their appeal for their magical powers, coconuts proved an ideal material for cups and pots and retained their popularity as such.

Created by Storr while working for Rundell, Bridge and Rundell, Jewelers and Goldsmiths to the King, this magnificent piece truly represents the sophisticated style of the renowned firm and the enormous talents of Paul Storr. Applied and engraved decoration envelop this masterpiece equipped with a carved handle, lion's head spigot and spectacular lion's paw supports. The piece bears the arms of the Neave Baronetcy and those of Digby, for Sir Thomas Neave and his wife Frances Caroline, daughter of the Hon. William Digby, the Dean of Durham. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Though he held no formal title, Storr enjoyed patronage from the most important and powerful figures of the period, including King George III and the Prince of Wales, the future King George IV. His first major work was a gold font commissioned by the Duke of Portland in 1797, and in 1799 he created the “Battle of the Nile Cup” for Lord Nelson. Many of Storr’s successes were partly due to the influence of Philip Rundell, of the popular silver retailing firm of Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell. Rundell’s firm nearly monopolized the early 19th-century market for superior silver, having obtained the Royal Warrant in 1806. A shrewd businessman, Rundell recognized the unique talents of Paul Storr and began pursuing him in 1803, but it wasn’t until after declining many offers that Storr finally joined the firm in 1806. Due to his remarkable talent, Storr was allowed to retain his own mark while working for Rundell. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Without question, Paul Storr is considered among history's finest smiths and he is known for perfecting the works, styles, and designs of the Regency period.

Crafted during a period when coconuts were considered an extravagant novelty in England, this example is supported by highly decorative, engraved sterling silver that is in itself extremely precious. Silver objects from the 16th century are seldom found outside the confines of museums due to two historically significant events. The first occurred during the successful uprising of Oliver Cromwell against Charles I and Parliament in the mid-17th century. Cromwell decreed that all silver objects be surrendered to his forces and destroyed after discovering that his opposition was financed largely by silver. Later, the Great Fire of 1666 destroyed much of London, including a majority of its silver and the records of registered silversmiths. Pieces crafted prior to these tragic events are extremely scarce and highly desirable. This extraordinary goblet represents the small number of pre-Cromwellian English silver objects, especially from the 1500s, known to exist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First popular in the late 15th and early 16th century throughout Europe, coconuts were once believed to possess healing powers and were used in cups such as this to detect and deter poison. As more trade routes opened up during the 16th century, coconuts became more widely available, though still only afforded to a wealthy minority in Europe and England. A cup such as this that has been so masterfully encased in sterling would most certainly have been in the possession of royalty or nobility.

Dresser first displayed his designs at the 1862 International Exhibition in London, where he was introduced to Japanese decorative objects. That influence is apparent in the minimalistic design and clean curves of this tea set. Modern lines and shapes were the hallmarks of Dresser’s works, and this set embodies his famed aesthetic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The grouping includes a teapot, sugar bowl and cream jug, all comprised of a spherical, electroplated body and all displaying Dresser’s signature clean lines and streamlined structure. The teapot handle is made of ebony, while the other two pieces are formed solely of silverplate. Although made circa 1879, the set exudes modernity beyond its time, resembling designs that would become popular almost a century later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dresser made this set during his time with the firm of James Dixon and Sons, one of the leading British electroplate manufacturers of the Industrial Revolution. He also designed for several other prominent metal shops, such as Hukin \u0026amp; Heath and Elkington. Christopher Dresser was born in Glasgow, Scotland and attended the Schools of Design in London, a school dedicated to training students in creating designs specifically for industrial production. Machine manufacturing made household items more accessible to the general population in the late 19th century, creating opportunities for artisans to innovate in process and design. Dresser’s education led him to experiment in these realms, resulting in some of the most beautiful and visionary silverplate objects ever created. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Today, his works in silverplate are found in some of the most prestigious museums worldwide, including a similar teapot at the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/msrauantiques2022.my.salesforce.com\/sfc\/p\/8c000000eEg1\/a\/Vb000004cXbm\/a9s2HzMuC35EXEI6ffkEtYBIO2uazn8SqbJ4K9DWpQ8\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMetropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and a tea set at the Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum (London)\u003c\/a\u003e.
