Silver Entrée Dishes
T&J Creswick
Hallmarked 1807

Gifted by Admiral of the Fleet John Jervis, 1st Earl of St. Vincent, to his godson, John Jervis St. Vincent Throckmorton, this remarkable pair of George III silver entrée dishes hold historical and sentimental significance. Created in 1807 by the renowned silversmiths Thomas & James Creswick, these covered dishes exemplify exquisite early 19th-century craftsmanship.

Each dish features an elegant ovoid form with gadrooned borders on the shallow dishes, while their stepped and domed lids are surmounted by detachable reeded handles adorned with naturalistic foliage. The lids are engraved with the Throckmorton coat of arms, motto and the dedicatory inscription dated 1808 from Jervis. These elements, combined with the dishes' refined aesthetics and expert craftsmanship, make them an extraordinary representation of Georgian silver.

Thomas & James Creswick, father-and-son silversmiths based in Sheffield, were known for their exceptional work, and similar dishes can be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These entrée dishes stand as a testament to their skill. Admiral of the Fleet John Jervis is celebrated for his vital role in British naval history, including his strategic contributions during the Napoleonic Wars and his mentorship of Horatio Nelson. The engraved dedication attests that these dishes were a commemorative gift for the birth of his godson, John Jervis St. Vincent Throckmorton. The dishes bear the coat of arms of the Throckmorton family, including the motto Virtus Sola Nobilitas (Virtue is the only nobility) and the elephant head crest. Additionally, these entrée dishes were a part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.

Each: 5 1/2" high x 13" wide x 9 1/4" deep
