1982 Jocelyn Burton Sterling Silver Gilt Bottle Coaster
$250.00
The 1982 sterling silver bottle coaster offered here was made in the early 1980's for the London Merchant Securities Ltd. Simple design with the motto of the now defunct LMT Ltd of a crowned lion passant clutching the key with trefoil terminus. A handsome addition to any tale.
Jocelyn Burton (1946-2020) was a highly respected and groundbreaking female English silver and goldsmith. Burton's work has been commissioned for important spaces throughout the world, notably 10 Downing Street. She won many accolades and was the first artisan to record the platinum stamp in the English assay system in 1973 as well as many other accolades. Perhaps most of all, hearkening back to Hester Bateman and a handful of others, she too paved the way for a new generation of female English silversmiths who today stand upon her shoulders, in spite of being discriminated against for her sex. Clearly, she had moxie and grit, and according to one firsthand account, she had an unforgettable personality.
