Victorian Silver Salt Spoon, Exeter, 1846
This is a smart early Victorian Sterling Silver Salt Spoon in the classic Fiddle pattern. The spoon has the initials E L elegantly engraved at the top of the stem.
The salt spoon is made by Robert Williams & Sons of Bristol and assayed in Exeter in 1846 as Bristol did not have an assay office. Robert Williams took over the business of William Woodman after his retirement in the 1830s and became the founding father of the firm that would become Josiah Williams & Co, the most successful British silversmiths outside of London, Birmingham and Sheffield, which remained in business up until the Second World War.
Condition is very good with just one truly tiny nick in the rim of the bowl and the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 175 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The salt spoon is 9.9cm / 3.9ins long and weighs a respectable 9.9g / 0.35oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks on the underside of the stem are well struck and very clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the three towered wall assay mark for Exeter, the date letter k for 1846, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the RW, JW, JW makers' mark for Robert Williams, James Williams & Josiah Williams of Robert Williams & Sons.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
