Author | Topic: Wine bottle coasters |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are several silver wine bottle coasters. The one with the smallest height is by Matthew Boulton and is in Old Sheffield Plate while the two with taller sides are unmarked and are silver plated. The design of these two suggests that they were done by Barker-Ellis as I have seen others with this design having their mark. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() George Washington was a world class consumer. Just before our Revolutionary War he ordered some silver from England. When the war started he worried that the silver might be delayed so he ordered more from France as a backup. IP: Logged |
