Group of Silver and Porcelain Rarities from the Sibthorp Collection, 1856. 'In the centre is a crystal cup, fitted into a silver frame and stand...On the left of this is a very handsome vase, of pale green colour, mounted in or-moulu...Behind this is a silver stand, or plinth, with a Bacchanalian subject...The tall, narrow vessel, or jar...is of Chelsea ware...The next object is the reliquary called Thomas a Becket's...The next object is of silver, and is supposed to have been used for condiments or salt: it is in the form of a vessel in full sail...[next is] an Oriental essence-sprinkler of very elegant form...The corresponding object on the left...is for the same purpose, but differently ornamented, being covered with a filigree ornament...The small cup on the right of the centre vase is of ivory, and finely carved. The large tankard at the back is in silver, and bears figures in bold relief, raised, and chased'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
