In the 18th and 19th centuries, earthenware burners were commonly used to diffuse the sweet aroma of pastilles made from aromatic substances. However, a silver-gilt burner of such fine quality would have been a luxury item reserved for the estates of the upper echelons of society. The makers, Joseph Craddock \u0026amp; William Reid, were renowned for producing exceptional silver for noble families, often incorporating elaborate decorations that set their work apart from that of their contemporaries. Additionally, this burner was a part of the Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3 3\/4” high x 6” wide x 3” deep \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e MSR, New Orleans\u003cbr\u003e Red McCombs Collection, Texas\u003cbr\u003e MSR, New Orleans","brand":"MSR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50275015557410,"sku":"31-9324","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/6710\/0706\/files\/31-9324_1_63857464-663c-4231-8bff-870d945e0829.png?v=1756231233","url":"https:\/\/banksyarts.com\/products\/silver-gilt-pastille-burner-by-craddock-reid","provider":"The Louvre of America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
