George IV Silver Salt Spoon, S & J Blake, 1821
This is a good quality George IV Sterling Silver salt spoon in the classic Fiddle pattern. The salt spoon is made by the silversmiths Sarah Blake & John William Blake in London and dates to 1821. Sarah & John William Blake were a mother and son team of silversmiths who carried on husband and father John Blake's spoon making business after his death around 1808/1809. They continued in business together into the mid-1820s.
The salt spoon has a lion's head crest elegantly engraved at the top of the stem. Condition is very good with just the superficial wear you would expect after nearly 200 years of use. It is a good size for modern use and could be used for salt, pepper or other condiments on today's dining table or would make a nice addition to a collection. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The spoon is 10.3cm long and weighs a very respectable 10.4g.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are well struck and clear to read with the exception of the maker's mark which is a little rubbed but still easy to decipher. They are the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter "f" for 1821, the King's head duty mark, still that of George III even though George IV was now King (it didn't change until the start of 1822) and the SB over IB makers' mark for Sarah Blake and John William Blake.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
