A late Georgian crested Old Sheffield Plate soup tureen. The tureen features twin leaf cast handles, leaf handle to the domed cover and is raised upon four leaf cast feet. The crest is that of a lion holding the letter H and the motto "HONOR VIRTUTIS PRETIUM" (honor is the reward of virtue).  

The handles and feet are made of two die stamped halves with visible seams and are probably lead filled. The underside lip to the gardrooned border on the tureen has rolled over edges. The tureen and cover both feature rubbed in silver squares where a crest has been engraved. 

Features the open hand mark, used by four Sheffield manufacturers and the crown mark.

Condition is excellent with moderate surface wear and some exposure of base metal in exposed areas. 

Approximate weight is 3.7 kilos.

Approximate dimensions are 40 cm length, 24 cm width and 24.5 cm height.
