Hallmarks and marks
This pair carries the Sheffield assay office mark, and is recorded in the catalogue as Sheffield 1831. The maker’s mark is recorded as Howard Battie+Hawksworth.
We read every mark under a glass and write down what is actually there. Where a mark is worn, struck twice or cannot be attributed with confidence, the catalogue says so rather than offering a likely name.

Care and preservation
A treated silver polishing cloth is usually enough for light tarnish; for heavier tarnish use a silver foam or cream, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip for hollow pieces. Store wrapped in acid-free tissue or a tarnish-proof bag, and keep rubber bands away from silver.
