A George I Antique Scottish Silver Tazza

Diameter: 5 1/2 inches Height: 2 3/8 inches

description

Plain circular with molded rim, on spreading central foot, engraved at center with a fully developed coat of arms flanked by crowned lion supporters with the motto 'Pro Rege in Tyrannos' above and the motto 'Victoria Vel Mors' below, fully marked on rim.



The arms are those of MacDouall (or McDowall) - though whether "of Logan" or "of Bankton" is still being debated.
