Description

This is a good quality George III Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the traditional Fiddle pattern. The spoon has the initials MB elegantly engraved at the top of the stem.

The teaspoon is made in London by silversmith William Weston and dates to 1809. William Weston was a specialist spoon maker and this teaspoon is right at the start of his career. He remained active in London up until at least the mid-1830s and possibly a little later.

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

The teaspoon is 13.8cm / 6.4ins long and weighs a very respectable 19.1g / 0.67oz 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 London date letter O for 1809, the George III duty mark and the W.W makers' mark for William Weston.
