John Williams (goldsmith)

He provided silver gilt plate, cups and dishes, gold chains, and medallions with the king's portrait,[4] many of which were given to ambassadors visiting London.

[6] Williams supplied the gilt plate given by King James to Adam Newton, the tutor of Prince Henry, in June 1605 when he married Katherine Puckering.

[7] Williams provided Anne of Denmark with a "fountain of silver gilt, well chased, containing one basin with two tops, one of them being three satyres or wild men, the other a woman with a sail or flag".

[8] In September 1609, the Lord Chamberlain, Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, asked him to provide £2000 worth of plate to the Count Vaudemont.

[12] In September 1615, the Earl of Somerset sent plate to Williams to be exchanged and remade in expectation of the christening of his daughter Anne Carr.
