6 x Roman Style Coffee Spoons, W. Suckling, 1960
This is a distinctive Cased Set of Six Vintage Roman Style Coffee Spoons. Roman spoons are the earliest silver spoons that we know of and the design is believed to be based on a mussel shell attached to a stick. These spoons are faithful replicas of a 2nd century original found near the city of Bath.
The coffee spoons were made in Birmingham by William Suckling Ltd and date to 1960. William Suckling founded his company in Birmingham in around 1895. They initially produced electroplated wares but in 1922 the firm registered their first mark at the Birmingham assay office to produce Sterling Silver items alongside their electroplate manufacturing. They produced a wide range of silverware for the table and general domestic use before they finally ceased trading in 1965.
Condition is extremely good with no dings or dents and only the most minimal superficial surface wear. It seems likely that they have never been used but kept as a treasured gift or memento. The box is also in extremely good condition. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
Each spoon is 9.5cm / 3.7ins long and the set of six together, unboxed, weighs in at a very respectable 47.1g / 1.66oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the sides of the stems, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter L for 1960 and the S Ld in concentric circles makers' mark for William Suckling Ltd.
Shipping in the UK is £6 by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
