Each with shaped oval backplate with earl's coronet cresting, cast and chased with scrolls on a matted ground and with two putti holding an oval ribbon-tied laurel wreath centered by a detachable cypher 'HC', the lower edge mounted with a scrolled branch supporting a spool-shaped socket and gadrooned drip pan, marked on reverse and on sockets; with scratch weights 22=2 and 23=3 / 22:15; each fitted with later suspension hook
7¹⁄₂ in. (19 cm.) high
45 oz. (1,401 gr.)
The cypher HC with earl's coronet above is likely to be for Henry Hyde, 2nd Earl of Clarendon (1638-1709), who succeeded his father in 1674. A study of earldoms extant in 1695 does not suggest any other possible candidate.
