The arms on one side are those of Crowe impaling Kenrick for Dr. Thomas Crowe (1672-1751) and his wife Anne (1685-1764), daughter of John Kenrick (1653-1730), a London merchant. As a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians he practiced as a doctor in London. The inscription on his tomb describes him as 'for many years eminent in ye practice of Physic', and a man whose 'integrity were rever'd by all who knew him and distinguished in a vast variety of cases'. Anne Crowe made a number of personal bequests in her will including the present lot which she left to the wife of her brother Matthew Kenrick (1697-1781). The arms on the other side are those of Kenrick no doubt engraved for Matthew Kenrick, having inherited the kettle after the death of his sister in 1764.

The Maynard Master

The style and quality of the chasing on the present kettle and stand suggests the influence of the 'Maynard Master,' named after a sideboard dish made for Grey, 5th Baron Maynard (Christie's, London, 22 May 1991, lot 145 and now in the Cahn collection). The existence of this unnamed artist, working in Lamerie's workshop from around 1736 to the early 1740s, was first suggested by the silver historian Ubaldo Vitali. The work of the Maynard Master is typified by putti with distressed or plaintive expressions; spiralled buds, described as 'cinnamon bun' scrolls, and wilted lion's heads resting on their paws (E. Alcorn, Beyond the Maker's Mark: Paul de Lamerie Silver in the Cahn Collection, Cambridge, 2006).
