Item: Caddy Spoon Description: Engraved leaf Hallmark: Birmingham 1807 by Matthew Linwood
Dimensions: 79mm long Comments: A splendid leaf form Georgian caddy spoon by the highly rated Matthew Linwood. The veins on this spoon are superbly engraved. The plain handle bears an 18th century style betrothal triangle "S" over "W.M" where the "S" is the surname of the happy couple - the out-of-period style of engraving suggests that this wedding present was given by a rather elderly relative! See "Caddy Spoons: An Illustrated Guide" by John Norie, plate 59h for a very similar example by the same maker.
