Surrey Police has released images of a number of items which they believe were stolen in a burglary in the hope that they can reunite them with their rightful owner.
The items were due to be sold at a forthcoming auction in the West Midlands but are believed to have been stolen from the south east of England.
They include a George III silver waiter by John Crouch and Thomas Hannan, of London, dated 1780, and a pair of George III Scottish silver fiddle pattern toddy ladles by James Mckay, of Edinburgh, dated 1813. Other items recovered were two cream jugs, a christening mug and 10 pieces of cutlery.
Detective Sergeant Franca Gasparini said: “We are hopeful that someone might recognise one or more of these items. Our belief is that they were stolen either in Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex or Kent.”
