Victorian Silver Teaspoon, T.H Stone, Exeter, 1870
This is a good quality Victorian Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the traditional Fiddle pattern. The spoon was assayed at the Exeter assay office which closed in 1883, making Exeter silver much sought after by collectors. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The teaspoon was made in Exeter by Thomas Hart Stone and dates to 1870. John Stone was one of Exeter's foremost silversmiths. He was a specialist spoon maker working from premises initially in New Bridge Street and later the High Street between the early 1820s and his death in 1868. He was succeeded in the business by his son Thomas Hart Stone who registered his own mark in 1863 and after his death in 1873 was in turn followed by his widow Frances Stone.
Condition is good, with no dings or dents and just a little roughness around the rim of the bowl and the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 150 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The teaspoon is 14.3cm / 5.6ins long and weighs in at a respectable 21.9g / 0.77oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the three towered wall assay mark for Exeter, the date letter O for 1870, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the T.S makers' mark for Thomas Hart Stone.
Shipping in the UK is £4.50 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
