Tapered form, beautiful scroll handle with heart terminal. Full silver hallmarks (rubbed). Full hallmarks to body and makers mark to handle. All hallmarks rubbed but legible. Lion passant: sterling silver. Crowned leopard's head: London. Date letter p: 1750. Silversmith's mark: John Pero. Several small knocks to the body and rims plus some areas of light scratching.
