Place: London Price: $ 230.00 Weight: 140 grams Dimensions: 11.5 cm average Condition: Fair to good, these spoons have been used, some having worn bowl tips and scratches. One spoon has a badly pitted handle, one has a worn shellback and one has a worn scrollback. All are suitable for use. Description: A unique set of 12 Hanoverian teaspoons, six of which are shellbacks, the other six are scrollbacks. These spoons predate the common practise of making and selling flatware in sets, complete sets are extremely rare. As is usual of the period, these spoons only have 2 hallmarks, the sterling and makers mark, which given the small size of the spoons were often poorly struck. The makers mark is present on all spoons but discernable on only 8, with 5 being by Charles Hougham (one set of 3 and another set of 2), and one each by Hester Bateman, Ebernezer Coker and Thomas Devonshire & William Watkins. Nine spoons have contempory initials, and 2 have a later crest.
