The faceted glass flask of oval section, with silver collar with reeded borders, the hinged domed cover engraved with stylised leaves and petals, with button finial, the silver base mount, detachable to form a cup, on circular collet foot, with reeded borders, engraved with a crest and a coat of arms within a foliate scroll and brickwork cartouche, marked on base with maker's mark only
7in. (17.5cm.) high
The cup, .9oz. (29gr.)
The arms are those of Edgar quartering Sparrow. Devereux Edgar, 3rd son of Thomas Edgar, a Recorder of Ipswich, married Temperance, daughter of Robert Sparrow of Wickhambrook, in September 1681. He was a commissioner for the Justice of the Peace in 1700, but lost his post following a row with the local baliff whom he called 'a lyer, blockhead and a jackanape'. Friends petitioned the Queen on his behalf using as his defence the fact that the baliff had been granting 'Freeman' for 6 a time to allow people to avoid being drafted. He was restored as Commissioner in 1710.
