English sterling silver holy oil bottle,
1 in stock
English sterling silver holy oil bottle,The letter “I” on a holy oil bottle typically stands for “Oleum Infirmorum,” which translates to “Oil of the Sick” or “Oil of Healing,” and is used in the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, the SC is for sanctum Chrism, most probably and whilst the hallmarks match the lid should have been on a bottle with I and the SC body would have had a lid with SC on it, it would appear that the lids at some point have been mixed up, sadly I only have what is shown here, lid fits perfectly.
Hallmarked for London in 1925 with the makers mark being that of Burns, Oats & Washbourne Ltd,who were known for Church Furnishers & Publishers, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester & London
No damage but does have a few stubborn marks that will require a more in-depth polish.
Stands 30mm tall and measures 27mm across the lid.
