Purpose

Preliminary designs and designs for variant sauce boats and sugar shakers, c1760-62 (9)

Notes

Adam volumes 25/86 and 25/87 are on the same sheet.

Unlike the other drawings for metalwork, the drawings for the sauce boats, sugar shakers, handled cup and the straight-sided urn are not copies of designs by Stuart. All of Stuart's metalwork for Scarsdale is accounted for, and this does not include these designs - whether they were executed or not - and from the nature of the drawings it appears that these are preliminary designs for additional silver being made by the Adam office.
