Comments: A very fine Commonwealth period seal top spoon. This is a truly fantastic quality spoon with a large and beautifully detailed seal. It has a good hefty weight and a large unworn bowl. The patina is untouched and there are three very clear "DC" hallmarks to the reverse stem. Original dated baptismal dot pricked initials can be found to the reverse of the bowl and the date of 1653 is almost certainly contemporary to the age of the spoon.

The "DC" marks are illustrated on page 324 of Jacksons (Pickford edition) where they are attributed to the West Country. A fine spoon worthy of further research.
