of silver shape, the fluted body painted with winged masks suspending pendant swags of wreaths between borders of flowers.

Property of a descendant of William Beckford & The Dukes of Hamilton.

Note: The present lot appears in a 19th century photograph of the hall at Easton Park, Suffolk. The English estate of the Dukes of Hamilton. It is displayed on an oak cabinet commissioned for William Beckford (1760-1844). Some of Beckford's collection was sent to Easton Park as well as Hamilton Palace by his daughter Susan Euphemia, Duchess of Hamilton (1786-1859). It is possible that this jug formed a part of that Beckford group sent to Easton by Susan.

The present lot is possibly that photographed on a side table in the Drawing Room at Brodick Castle, circa 1950.
