| INDEX | ALL SILVER |
| DESCRIPTION | Good Georgian solid sterling silver Old English pattern dessert spoon with no engraving. Single drop and the silver is thick throughout. Lovely, well struck bottom marks with the largest mark ever registered by Hester Bateman. No engraving is unusual for this period so I expect an erasure even though I can find no evidence of one. |
