Sorry, this item is out of stock.

A very fine trefid spoon by one of the premier West Country Spoon-makers. See "West Country Silver Spoons and Their Makers" by Tim Kent, pages 135-6. This spoon is in absolutely excellent condition with a full sized bowl with thick lip, original patina, a pristine rattail and four superb "RS" marks. There is also the addition of a French Control mark. The spoon is of very good gauge and has the added bonus of a contemporary dated betrothal inscription to the reverse terminal.
