The Label is modelled in a Provincial interpretation of the escutheon style and is chased with fruiting vines on a matted ground. The plain, shaped, banner is incised for PORT and the label is in excellent condition. The reverse is marked with the SB maker's mark only, for Stephen Buckle. Stephen Buckle had been apprentice to Isaac Cookson in Newcastle. He was free by 1740 and went to York, where he became a freeman of the City. An identical Label, incised for White Wine, by Stephen Buckle is shown on page 229 of "Wine Labels - 1730-2003 - A Worldwide History". It states that this is one of a pair and that it can be classified as the earliest example made by any York silversmith.
Length: 2.1 inches, 5.25 cm.
Width: 1.45 inches, 3.63 cm.
