George V Silver & MOP Muffin Fork, B'ham, 1924
This is an attractive George V Sterling Silver and Mother of Pearl Muffin Fork. The upper part of the fork is silver with a decorative collar joining it to the mother of pearl handle. English muffins are traditionally split in half with a fork rather than a knife as this gives a rough texture to the insides which crisps nicely when toasted.
The muffin fork was made in Birmingham by silversmiths Adie & Lovekin Ltd and dates to 1924. Founded in 1863 by James Adie and Alfred Lovekin, the firm specialised in flatware, fancy goods and particularly sewing related items. Their pin cushions are highly collectable. The original partners passed away in 1913 and 1912 and the firm carried on until around 1930.
Condition is extremely good, with no dings, dents or damage and just the barest minimum of superficial surface wear suggesting that this has not seen much use in nearly 100 years. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The muffin fork is 11.3cm / 4.4ins long and weighs in at 8.5g / 0.3oz.
The hallmarks, just below the tines of the fork, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter z for 1924 and the ALLd makers' mark for Adie & Lovekin Ltd.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
