Toddy warmer 1738 - 1739

This silver Toddy Warmer, crafted by George Jones between 1738 and 1739, is a prime example of 18th-century English silversmithing. The piece features a rounded, bulbous body with a graceful spout and a long, elegant handle with a black wooden grip. The surface is adorned with an engraved design of a heraldic crest, which likely belonged to the original owner. The Toddy Warmer, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, reflects the refined tastes and craftsmanship of the era.
