9 In the example of Lot 381, the crown denotes the piece was made in Ireland, the male head is for George IV, as Dublin was under British rule at the time, the car touche of ‘Hibernia’ denotes the item was stamped in the Dublin assay office, the letter Z is for the year 1820 and SB is the maker’s mark for Stephen Bergin. In Lot 379, marks are found on a piece of provincial Irish silver which bears the maker’s mark CT for Carden Terry and is stamped Sterling – this is a rare piece of George III Cork silver, c. 1787, at this time it was too dangerous to bring the precious metal for assaying to the Dublin office either by land or by sea, so by arrangement the silversmith was permitted to stamp Sterling on the piece himself. Now go and find that piece of silver collecting dust at the back of your cupboard and check for hallmarks, the vendor of the Carden Terry sauce boat was not aware of its rarity and value!
