A sugar-caster, 1746 (illustrated [page 317]), has the Maker’s initials E.O. and the Assay Master’s initials H.G. (for Hugh Gordon). The castle is also stamped as the Hall Mark, and the date letter R in italic capitals.
A coffee-pot made by Patrick Robertson, 1769 (illustrated [page 321]), has the marks shown [opposite]. The thistle is the Standard Mark; the castle is the Hall Mark; P.R. is the Maker’s Mark; and the letter
for the date. Another of Patrick Robertson’s pieces—a fine tea-urn in classic style—is illustrated [page 325]. The date letter for this is Z, indicating the year 1778.
Two Glasgow marks are shown [opposite]. One is before 1819, before the lion rampant was used; and the other shows the lion rampant, the Standard Mark of Glasgow still in use. The Duty Mark Stamp is the head of George IV. F is the date letter for 1824.
