Striking navette mourning ring inscribed for Isaac Sparks 1788.
Unusually high domed glass,white enamel urn with initials atop a blue engine turned enamel ground.
I have located the Will for Isaac Sparks who came from Fordington,Dorset from a long line of wealthy brewers, maltsters and tanners.
A ring of this quality would only have been commissioned by the wealthiest of merchants.
Size 4.75. (resizing possible).
