| DESCRIPTION |
Georgian cast solid silver rococo pattern salt spoon with a gilded bowl. |
| SILVERSMITH |
Distinctive punch but the crucial upper left letter is unclear. I read it as ?G over MG which I have not yet identified so is probably incorrect. |
| DATE or HALLMARK |
1814, probably, we have a George III duty mark and a Birmingham style lower case 'q'. |
| ASSAY OFFICE |
very likely Birmingham from the distinctive date letter but there is no town mark |
| WEIGHT in GRAMS |
17 |
| LENGTH |
4 ¼", 104mm |
| SILVER STANDARD |
.925 sterling silver |
| CONDITION |
excellent, the gilding appears to be the original mercurial gilding (a process long since banned) of which there is a small loss |
