Burnell and Rowe

Description

This is a well made Vintage Sterling Silver Handled Butter Knife in the popular Queen's Pattern. The blade of the knife is made from stainless steel. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The butter knife was made in Sheffield by Harrison Brothers and dates to 1974. The Harrison Brothers brand name dates back to the firm of Harrison Brothers and Howson, which was founded in 1847. In 1923 the firm was bought by Viner's Ltd, who continued to use the Harrison Brothers & Howson name up until the Second World War. In the 1950s to 1970s the brand was revived just as Harrison Brothers and specialised in silver handled flatware and cutlery.

Condition is extremely good, with no dings or dents and just the minimal superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The butter knife is 16cm / 6.3ins long and weighs 22.5g / 0.79oz all in.

The hallmarks on the handle are a little rubbed but still clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, the date letter G for 1974 and the H B in a diamond makers' mark for Harrison Brothers.
