A beautiful pair of antique English Sterling Silver and Bristol blue glass salt cellars. Hallmarked Chester,Chester by James and William Deakin, circa 1880s. They were manufacturers of silver and silver plate, founded by James Deakin in Sheffield, 1866.
The first mark was registered by the firm in the Sheffield Assay Office on 31 January 1878. It was 'JD' over 'WD' and possibly represented the partnership of James Deakin and his son William Pitchford Deakin. In 1886, two further sons joined the partnership, John and Albert, and the firm was then known as James Deakin and Sons. Since this hallmark shows the 'JD' over 'WD' mark, I believe that they were made between 1878 and 1886.
