Both lid and collar are hallmarked with the 1st standard hallmark signifying a higher level of silver than typically used elsewhere….. 950/1000 compared to English or American 925/1000. The smaller lids weigh just about an ounce and the largest is just under 2 ounces which makes them exceedingly heavy for their size (tops alone weigh 250 grams). The tops are edged with a beautiful hand chased laurel leaf wreath with berries with a small band of beading at top and bottom edge and a wonderfully plain inset awaiting your monogram. There is a maker’s hallmark but it is too small for me to make out.
The size given is for the single large bottle, the next size down is 3 1/2”x 6 1/4”H, the next is 3”x5 1/2” and the two smallest are 2 1/2”x 4 3/4”.
Truly a spectacular set fit for any Queen! less
