A COMMONWEALTH SILVER PORRINGER
LONDON, DATE LETTER INDISTINCT, PROBABLY 1658, MAKER'S MARK NB ABOVE A MULLET AND TWO PELLETS, PROBABLY FOR NATHANIEL BLITHE
On spreading base, the circular body chased with circular matted panels between foliage, the bifurcated beaded handles with bud finial, later engraved with a coat-of-arms, marked on body
4 ½ in. (11.5 cm.) high
14 oz. 3 dwt. (441 gr.)
The arms are those of Bagot of Aughrane Castle, co. Galway, almost certainly for Christopher Neville Bagot (1822-1877) of Aughrane Castle, co. Galway. Bagot was the fourth son of Thomas Neville Bagot (1784-1863) of Ard House, Geashill, co. Offaly and Ballymoe, co. Galway. He left Ireland in 1844 and made a fortune in the Australian goldfield. On his return in 1860 he bought Kelly Castle, co. Galway, which he renamed Aughrane Castle. These arms, with the difference of the trefoil and the differently tinctured crest were confirmed on Christopher Bagot.
