English George III sterling silver baluster form pint mug, London, 1780, probably by William Cox III. Size: 5 inches ht. x 5.25 inches x 3.75 inches. Weight - 12.3 troy ounces. This large-sized mug has an acanthus leaf-capped double scroll handle and is heavier than most comparable examples. Condition is good with no repairs, just a few minor bruises to the body. The engraved block letter monogram, A.H.R. within a wreath, was a later addition. The maker's mark is believed to be that of Wm. Cox III, one of a long family lineage of London silversmiths. Provenance: The mug was de-accessioned by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA and bears the museum's white inventory number on the underside of the base. A complete set of hallmarks is also struck under the base.
