Comments: A fine quality James I period seal top spoon made by one of the greatest spoonmakers of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This spoon was made in the year following the Gunpowder Plot and is in great original condition with dot-pricked initials to the terminal. It retains its' full sized bowl and crisp decoration to the cast seal finial. The condition of the hallmarks set this spoon apart from its' contemporary counterparts - the bowl mark is very clear and the three stem marks are in an especially fine state of preservation. A great spoon with no negative issues.
