6 early 19th c. silver teacup holders

By janeseitz, 16 December, 2007
Description

The markings on these six teacup holders read that they were made in Birmingham, England in 1804 (4), 1803 (1) and 1801(1) by W.C. and that they are sterling silver.  All six are in perfect condition.  They measure 3.5 cm in height (5 cm to the tip of the handle from the base) and 4.5 cm in diameter.  The pictures on them depict what look to be cherubs, fruit, and flowers.  I can't get my camera to focus properly on the markings, but they are the anchor for Birmingham, the lion for Birmingham sterling silver, the "g", "d" or "f" for the year of production, and a "W.C" for the maker, whom I have not been able to identify.

You don't mention the "Duty

You don't mention the "Duty Mark" ( The king's head in profile facing right). If these date from 1801- 03 -04 there should be a duty mark, if not these post date 1890 when the Sovereign's head duty mark was discontinued.
