Georgian sterling silver decanter label or bottle ticket if you prefer the English style, handmade by silversmith Charles Rawlings in London, 1828 during the George IV period. It is marked C.R in a rectangular cartouche. On the reverse there are a complete set of deeply struck English silver hallmarks. C. R in a rectangular cartouche followed by the head of George IV, then by the rampant lion (Englands symbol for the sterling standard), then by the capital letter “D” for the year 1828 and finally the leopard head for the assay office in the city of London. The overall shape is slightly convex with rounded corners. There are three engraved lines for a border surrounding the word SHERRY in capital letters. I’ve also included a close-up of the belcher style chain made by the silversmith for this decanter label. Silver stock was cut into small strips formed into circles and then soldered together to form chain.
