Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The coat of arms has been identified as belonging to the Beauchamp family of Fifield in Essex, with those of Amyas quarterly in pretence (Howard, 1974, p. 495). The shape of this salt cellar derives from English silverware. A similar pair of silver scallop shells, dated to 1767/8 and made by William Plummer, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (no. M. 15a-1963).
