Engraved with the arms of George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington. These waiters are listed in the Earl's The Particulars of my Plate and its Weights, 1754, pg. 14, as "6 small Waiters to give drink on".


The history of silver owes great debt to George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington (1675-1754) and the meticulous record he took of his silver collection. Written in his own hand, he records his efforts to reestablish the family's silver that had been lost in his father's generation. A marriage to Mary Oldbury, daughter of a wealthy merchant set him on his way to amassing the almost 26,000 ounces of silver that is recorded in his notes. The rather rapid establishment of his silver service led Booth to work with a variety of silversmiths.


The Earl of Warrington's silver remained in the family through to the early 20th century when it was sold by his descendants, the Earls of Stamford.
