silver, the leopard's head crowned for the city of London, the date letter C for
1798, King George III's head duty mark, and a maker's mark that is partially
obscured by wear, possibly EC for Ebenezer Coker.
The creamer stands about 4 3/4 inches tall.
This piece weighs 140 grams or 4.9 regular ounces.
