This is a good quality early Victorian Sterling Silver Salt Spoon in the traditional Fiddle pattern. The spoon has the initial W elegantly engraved at the top of the stem.

The salt spoon was made in London by silversmith Jacob Wintle and dates to 1847. The firm was founded by James Wintle, who registered his first mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1812 and operated from premises in Roupel Street near Blackfriars. He was a specialist spoon and flatware maker and was succeeded by Jacob Wintle, almost certainly his son, who registered his mark in 1844 and remained in business into the 1850s.

Condition is extremely good, with no dings or dents, no salt corrosion and just the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after over 175 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The salt spoon is 10.9cm / 4.3ins long and weighs in at a respectable 12.7g / 0.45oz 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 leopard's head assay mark for London, the Gothic date letter M for 1847, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the J W makers' mark for Jacob Wintle.
