George III Neo Classical Wine/Water Jug by Smith & Sharp, London, 1775.
About the Item
A very fine & unusual George III Neo Classical Wine/Water Jug made in London in 1775 by Daniel Smith & Robert Sharp.
The Jug stands on an applied foot which is decorated with bold beading. The baluster shaped main body is beautifully decorated with blue bell swags tied with ribbons, all in raised relief. The swags are interspersed with raised wheel motifs. The upper section also displays smaller bluebell garlands and wheel motifs. The unusual "Sparrow" Beak Spout is decorated with reeding and displays a raying shell beneath and an unusual heart shaped pouring spout. The domed fruitwood handle is attached to the main body with triangular and cast shell mouldings. The high domed, hinged, cover has a beaded rim and is decorated with the same swags and wheel motifs that are seen on the main body and terminates in a Neo Classical beaded urn finial. The side of the main body displays a set of contemporary script initials, with trailing foliate surround, typical of the designs of the 1770's. This was a design which was peculiar to the workshops of Smith & Sharp, who enjoyed the patronage of George III and the Prince of Wales, later George IV, when he was furnishing Carlton House. This piece is of a very good weight and is in exceptional condition, bearing a good clear set of marks up in the foot.

- Robert Adam George III Silver Gilt Vase by Daniel Smith and Robert Sharp LondonBy Daniel Smith & Robert Sharp, Robert AdamLocated in Oxfordshire, United KingdomA fine and rare 18th century George III silver-gilt vase by Daniel Smith and Robert Sharp, London 1770. Based on a design by the Italian printmaker Stefano della Bella (1610-1664). The design was adapted by the architect Robert Adam (1728-1792). The overall form of the vase and some of the ornaments, such as the drapery swags, figural masks and acanthus leaves on the body, are based on a design by the Italian printmaker Stefano della Bella (1610-1664). He produced about 1,400 prints during his lifetime which were very influential, particularly a series of designs for vases in Raccolta di Vasi Diversi, published between 1639 and 1648. The design was adapted by the architect Robert Adam (1728-1792), whose drawing, now in Sir John Soane's Museum in London and was copied by the highly-fashionable silversmithing partnership Daniel Smith and Robert Sharp. Daniel Smith and Robert Sharp’s partnership ran from 1763-1788. They supplied high-quality silver and silver gilt in the Neo-classical style to the most fashionable retailers and clients, including the Prince Regent. They were the principal manufacturers of a series of magnificent race cups, one of which was designed by the architect Robert Adam (1728-1792) and another is in the Royal collection Robert Adam (1728-1792) was arguably the most famous eighteenth century British architect and designer, whose remarkable career in partnership with his brothers James and William has been thoroughly documented elsewhere and whose major commissions can still be seen at Harewood House...Category
