Item: Caddy Spoon Description: 'Hook end' with fluted
bowl Hallmark: Sheffield 1786 by Henry Tudor & Thomas
Leader Dimensions: 82mm long
Comments: A very rare form of caddy spoon and equally rare in bearing early Sheffield hallmarks (including the sought after incuse duty mark used for only 18 months). The handle of this spoon has a turned over terminal (akin to Onslow Pattern) and the bowl has been beautifully shaped and fluted. Original script initials are located to the reverse of the stem and the hallmarks are in fine condition to the reverse of the bowl. This is a rare form of spoon and we have not experienced another 18th century example that compares.
