A sterling silver napkin ring of plain elliptical form with a smooth, unadorned surface. The exterior bears a series of four hallmarks: an octagonal punch containing the initials RC, a circular punch containing a crown, a rectangular punch containing a lion passant, and a square punch with clipped corners containing a lowercase letter x. The crown represents the Sheffield assay office and the lion passant confirms the metal as .925 sterling silver. The initials RC are not legible as a spelled maker name.
