Rare Georgian Early Silver Jockey Cap Caddy Spoon Hallmarked 1798 Joseph Taylor
A fine George III early silver caddy spoon in the form of a jockey’s cap with bright cut engraved decoration denoting the stitching, a decorative star to the button on the top and foliate decoration framing a shield cartouche on the brim and further to the underside. It is finished with a shaped engraved “ribbon” at the back. Unusually with full hallmarks under the brim, a very early jockey cap caddy spoon, Birmingham 1798, maker Joseph Taylor. It measures 5cm (2″) long, 4cm (1 9/16″) wide and 1.7cm (5/8) high and weighs 7g. In good condition overall: there are two small splits to the ribbon section at the back. A neat and unobtrusive line of repair to a section of the join with the brim and also to a diagonal across the width of the brim, more clearly seen underneath. A few tiny nick marks to the shield cartouche suggest unsurprisingly an original engraving has been erased. No dents and the engraved detail is nice and crisp and the marks are clear.

Rare late Commonwealth Period silver Puritan spoon maker TA London c1655
A fine late Commonwealth period silver Puritan spoon in the simple elegant style of the period. The Puritans did not approve of unnecessary ornamentation and this is reflected in the plain design and functionality of this rare survivor, which historically belongs between the earlier Seal Top and Apostle spoons, which had hexagonal stems, and the trefid spoons with their flat stems and oval bowls which came over with the Royal Court from France at the time of the Restoration. Owing to the short duration of their popularity and the scarcity of silver at this period in English history due to the demands of the war, Puritan spoons are very rare and sought after. The Spoon has the initials’RM’ engraved on the back of the stem, together with the London town mark, struck twice, and a maker’s mark TA above a mullet and two pellets, which is recorded on page 124 of Jackson’s’Silver and Gold Marks’. The date mark is worn away, and was in all probability poorly struck originally; you can see where it was on the upper stem, but only a small indent remains. There is a lovely crisp London Town mark in the bowl. This is a particularly pleasing and tactile spoon, smaller than some examples, in super collector’s condition, with no damage or repair and having a good colour. TA London 1655 – 1660.

A rare English Provincial West Country silver trefid spoon with a ribbed rat tail, inscribed’E over I. M 1689′, struck three times on the stem with the town mark’T’ for Tiverton. Study stem and pleasing feel, terrific collector’s spoon. This rare spoon is in lovely collector’s condition having a good patina, nice marks, with some age-related wear mainly to the edge of the bowl, which is thin. Late 17th century town mark’T’ for Tiverton c 1689. Britannia silver is an alloy of silver containing 11 ounces and 10 pennyweight silver in the pound troy, equivalent to 95.83% by weight silver, the balance being usually copper. This higher standard of silver content of 958 parts per thousand was introduced in England by Act of Parliament in 1697 to replace sterling silver (92.5% silver) as the obligatory standard for items of “wrought plate”. The lion passant gardant hallmark denoting sterling was replaced with “the figure of a woman commonly called Britannia”, and the leopard’s head mark of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths replaced with a “lion’s head erased”. Britannia standard silver was introduced as part of the great recoinage scheme of William III from 1696, when attempts were made to limit the clipping and melting of sterling silver coinage. A higher standard for wrought plate meant that sterling silver coins could not easily be used as a source of raw material because additional fine silver, which was in short supply at the time, would have to be added to bring the purity of the alloy up to the higher standard. Britannia silver is considerably softer than sterling, and after complaints from the trade sterling silver was authorised again for use by silversmiths from 1 June 1720, and thereafter Britannia silver has remained an optional standard for hallmarking in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

A famous maker, Benjamin Burt, of Boston made this wonderful shellback serving spoon sometime between the mid to late 1700s. Master gold and silversmith, Mr. Burt both learned the trade from his equally famous father John, and his siblings, and was master to many other notable makers. This incredibly strong looking spoon, is just that-no skimping on silver content here, and the sweet shell just above the drop makes it his very own brand of spoon. A special spoon approaching 300 years old has the longevity to tell a story, and this one’s written all over it in character! This rare find, from a man whose wares are housed in the great museums of this country, is a welcome choice. This gracious spoon remains in good antique condition. See condition description for exceptions. And will continue to endure with the loving care of a collector! Length: 8in (20.3cm). Weight: 1.45 troy oz (45g). This item is in the category “Antiques\Silver\Coin Silver (.900)”. The seller is “shrinkflyer” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
