| Description : | The comport is from the Viscount Milton dessert service. The scene depicted on the comport is The Assiniboine Rescues Bucephalus and covers the centre of plate. Two packhorses are floundering in a fast-flowing river. One, Bucephalus, is being rescued by an Assiniboine, a First Nations guide. The spectacular scenery of the Rocky Mountains fills the background. The rim is hand-pierced in lattice design and gilded and links roundels also enriched with acid gold decoration. Five roundels are designed with a vase of flowers, the sixth (and top) roundel holds the Milton monogram. The lattice work is bordered on each side with gilded bands of laurel leaves. The base fo the comport is circular, gilded, with a border of laurel leaves similar to the plate. Three scroll-footed legs, with the scroll placed over the pierced border, rise to a shaped platform comrpising three large and three small horizontal sections. Laurel leaf garlands are suspended from each side of the larger sections; a small pendant from the smaller. All are gilded. The platform in turn supports a cup-shaped form that holds the plate. |
