A George II Britannia Standard Silver Tea Kettle on Lampstand, Paul Crespin, London, 1731

Christie's, London, 5 May 1937, lot 59 (when sold with matching salver)

The arms are possibly those of Ridale or Ridell, with variant spellings. The position of the hallmarks on the base of the kettle struck in a straight line raises the question of whether this is a duty-dodger.
