Hello. This is my first post here and I'm after some clarification on this Vinaigrette. The date letter 'V' or 'v', which I have't been able to photograph very clearly, puts it at 1793 or 1819 The maker's mark is IB so I would say it was John Bettridge, however, the cartouche has straight edges, as opposed to the rounded one shown in Jackson's. Hopefully somebody can clarify these details for me.
Cheers.
