Antique Silver

 

 

Item: Caddy Spoon Description: Important bright-cut  handle with tiny bowl Hallmark: London 1782 by Samuel Wintle Dimensions: 60mm long; bowl diameter of 22mm.

Comments: An important very small and early caddy spoon. See "Caddy Spoons: An Illustrated Supplement" by John Norie. This is a twin spoon to that shown on page 2 of the book. The triangular bright-cut handle is the same design and, although not fluted, the bowl has the same diameter of 1.1". Furthermore it provides evidence to Norie's assertion that this ("the caddy spoon with the smallest practical bowl") was made by Samuel Wintle. It has the same "lightly struck" double marks "SW", but is additionally marked with the date letter for 1782. 

Price: SOLD
