Antique Georgian Silver Basting Spoon. It has the Old English pattern to the back of the handle. At the top of the handle to the front, there is an engraved diamond shape which has a areas of a lined pattern and also contains 3 flowers (two in the top point and one in the bottom point). It is made from a good guage of silver and has clear hallmarks. I do have two of these spoons, so ideal if you would like a pair
Assay Office: LONDON
Date: 1792/93
Makers Marks: W.S There are a number of makers with these initials, so I am afraid that I cannot confirm which one relates to this spoon
Dimensions: 11.75 inches long in total, the bowl just over 3.25 inches long and just under 2 inches wide, at its widest point. It weighs 92g
Condition: There is a little very shallow dent in the bowl, which is hardly noticeable and some light surface scratching, which is only to be expected on a metal item, but this is minor and commensurate with age and use
Remarks: This is a very good antique Georgian 219 year old solid silver basting spoon, which is a very useable item, or a must for any collector of good antique georgian silver
Antique and vintage silver by its very nature has been previously used. Silver is a comparatively soft metal and a combination of many years use invariably leaves its mark. I do endeavour to describe all items accurately but do not expect any antique to be in “as new condition”.
