George III Bright Cut Teaspoon, Ch. Hougham, 1791
This is a good quality George III Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the classic Old English pattern with Bright Cut decoration down the front of the stem. The initials H R A are engraved in 18th century style at the top of the stem.
The teaspoon was made in London by noted silversmith Charles Hougham and dates to 1791. Charles Hougham registered his mark at Goldsmiths Hall in London in 1769. He was a fine silversmith who primarily produced spoons and flatware but also some other good pieces of tableware. Charles’ brother Solomon took over the business after Charles’ death in 1793 and expanded the range of items they produced. Around 1818, Solomon went into a brief partnership with Solomon Royes and John East Dix, who continued the business after Solomon Hougham’s death.
Condition is very good, with just one tiny ding in the bowl and the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 230 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The teaspoon is 12cm / 4.7ins long and weighs in at a respectable 11.6g / 0.41oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are nice and clear to read with just a little rubbing to the makers' mark. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the London date letter q for 1791, the George III duty mark and the C H makers' mark for Charles Hougham.
Shipping in the UK is £4.50 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
