Item: Serving Spoon Description: Celtic
Point pattern Hallmark: Limerick c. 1783 by George Moore Dimensions: 230mm long
Comments: We are pleased to be able to offer
this exceptionally rare Irish silver long table/serving spoon. This spoon
is in very good condition and bears contemporary engravings to the
terminal "S*P" (probably signifying a marriage) and an engraved date to the heel of the bowl
"JAN 1783". The marks are legible with the "GM"
maker's mark within it's distinctive punch shape for George Moore (working
period circa 1748-84) and the "STERLING" mark.
Opportunities to buy Limerick silver are few and far
between and prices are continually rising - buy an example whilst you can!
