This sterling mug by the celebrated Paul de Lamerie, considered by many to be the finest English silversmith of all time, is a remarkable example of de Lamerie’s unmatched skill. Displaying a rounded body and scrolled handle, the mug features an exquisitely engraved medallion surrounding the initials “JPG.”

The first and finest maker of Rococo English silver, de Lamerie set the standard for silversmiths for nearly three centuries, and his pieces are among the most extraordinary and recognized works of any silver collection.
