A JAMES I SILVER FLAGON MARK OF ROBERT SNOW, LONDON, 1624 Plain tapering cylindrical on spreading foot, with hinged domed cover and scroll handle, marked near rim and on cover 11 ? in. (29 cm.) high 34 oz. 7 dwt. (1,069 gr.)
Robert Snow was apprenticed to Simon Owen from 1606 becoming free by service in 1614. He had a busy workshop, taking on nine apprentices between 1614 and 1638, some of whom, such as Peter Bettesworth, William Mouse and Daniel Wormleighton became successful plateworkers. Although active in the Livery from 1622, he was only elected as an Assistant in 1637, a year before his death. This flagon appears to be one of his earliest recorded works (D. M. Mitchell, Silversmiths in Elizabethan and Stuart London, Their Lives and Their Marks, Woodbridge, 2017, p. 471 and 472).
