£2,000-£3,000
St John's College, Battersea, founded in 1838 by James Key Shuttleworth, was the first teacher training college in England. It had extensions throughout the 19th Century including its chapel, designed by architect William Butterfield. Nearly all of the college buildings were demolished in 1930. The institution still survives and moved to Plymouth in 1973. It is now known as the University of St Mark and St John.
William Butterfield and John Keith
William Butterfield (1814-1900) was a notable Gothic revival architect, known for his extensive list of ecclesiastic buildings and Keble College, Oxford. Butterfield was a member of the Cambridge Camden Society (also known as the Ecclesiological Society) and contributed designs to their publication 'Instrumenta Ecclesiastica', first published in Series I in 1847, and Series II in 1856 (both published by John Van Voorst).
The preface to plates 31 and 32 of the Series II (1856) reads as follows:
'This collection of Church-plate contains engravings of five Chalices, two Patens, four Cruets or Flagons, and three Alms-dishes, which were contributed to the Great Exhibition of 1851 by Mr Keith (of 59, Britannia Terrace, City Road, London), silversmith to the Ecclesiological Society, and which were all manufactured by him from the designs of W. Butterfield Esq. Mr Keith obtained a medal from the Royal Commissioners for his case of Altar-plate; and also carried off the first and second prizes proposed for the best specimen of workmanship, by the Goldsmiths' Company of London. Several of the specimens here engraved were enamelled, and all were wrought by hand. These patterns are supplemental to the Designs for Church-plate, which appeared in the First Series of the Instrumenta Ecclesiastica.'
Paul Waterhouse, in 'Dictionary of National Biography', 1901, noted on page 360 about William Butterfield as follows:
'The Cambridge Camden Society, a scheme which was started in 1843 for the improvement of church plate and other articles of church use, and Butterfield, whose offices were then, as throughout his career, at 4 Adam Street, Adelphi, was appointed the 'agent'. He was, in fact, not merely the received of orders, but the designer of the goods and the superintendant of their execution (Ecclesiologist, 1843, p.117).'
An 1853 flagon of similar form and design including cover and thumbpeice can be seen in the V&A, museum number: LOAN:KENNINGTONCROSS.1-1981.
Examples of flagon designs by William Butterfield from Intrumental Ecclesiastica Series I (1847) illustrated opposite.

Engraved with the armorial of George Augustus Henry Cavendish, 1st Earl of Burlington, a notable English politician who built the Burlington Arcade, London.

On the 27th February 1782 he married Lady Elizabeth Compton, the only child of Charles Compton, 7th Earl of Northampton. Their arms from marriage can be seen here, with the Compton arms (three helmets around a lion passant) featured in an inescutcheon over the Cavendish arms (three stags heads), held up by a stag to the left and a wyvern to the right, above the motto 'Cavendo Tutus'. The arms is surmounted by the Cavendish crest, a coiled serpent. There is no coronet owing to the fact that at the time of production, the Earl & Countess of Burlington had not yet been titled and were simply styled Lord & Lady Cavendish. They had seven children, and their eldest grandchild William Cavendish went onto become the 7th Duke of Devonshire.
