Salver with arms of Judith Jodrell
The coat of arms on this salver, engraved in an exuberant rococo cartouche, is the sole decoration on the otherwise plain surface. The salver, used to hold a tea service, was commissioned as a memento by Judith Jodrell, who bought it using money bequeathed to her by two close friends. The monogram and inscriptions on the reverse commemorate these attachments.
