Item: Teaspoon and Sweetmeat fork Description:
Engraved Trefid Hallmark: London c.1695 by Jean Harache Dimensions: 96mm
long (spoon) & 91mm long (fork)
Comments: It is very rare to find a teaspoon
and sweetmeat fork in combination. This pair bear almost identical
engraved decoration, including a maiden's face looking out from the front
terminals. The cartouches to the reverse sides remain blank. The spoon is
clearly marked with the maker's mark of Jean Harache (crown over IH over a
lion rampant). This mark will pre-date the introduction of the new
standard in 1697. The fork is unmarked. The fork is in excellent condition
and the spoon has some wear to the front right of the bowl.
