Description

This is a fine quality George III Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the classic Fiddle pattern. The spoon has the initials A G elegantly engraved in Georgian style at the top of the stem.

The teaspoon was made in Exeter by silversmith George Turner and dates to 1813. George Turner registered his first mark at the Exeter assay office in 1809. He was a specialist spoon maker producing flatware of consistently good quality. He remained active up until his death in 1835.

Condition is extremely good, with no dings or dents and only the most minimal superficial surface wear that you would expect after 210 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The teaspoon is 13.6cm / 5.3ins long and weighs in at a respectable 18.8g / 0.66oz 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 Exeter date letter R for 1813, the George III duty mark and the G T makers' mark for George Turner.
