Item: Fish Server Description: Trowel with pierced blade and engraved handle Hallmark: Dublin circa 1771 by LH Dimensions: 340mm long; 123g weight Comments: This magnificent Irish fish trowel is a superb survivor and in excellent condition. The flat blade has been wonderfully decorated with pierced and engraved seaweed designs, the central motif being a stylised fish, all amongst a bright-cut engraved border. The handle has a beautiful feel to it with a convex shape at the terminal, feather edging and an Adam's style engraved cartouche to the terminal - vacant with no erasures. The hallmarks to the blade are in first class condition and according to Ticher, Delamer & O'Sullivan in "Hallmarks on Dublin Silver 1730-1772" accurately date the piece to 1771. As yet, we have been unable to identify the maker LH.
