Description: A Georgian Scottish silver Celtic Pointed pattern tablespoon, made by James Hewitt in Edinburgh in 1784. The spoon is bottom marked and features the incuse Georgian duty mark, which was only used in 1784 and 1785. The spoon has original engraved initial K in script. The hallmarks on bottom marked spoons are often squashed and distorted, but all 5 hallmarks on this spoon are well struck and clear, they could not be better. They include makers mark J.H in script, used by Hewitt between 1769 and 1784, although he had a long career, being freed in 1760, and still apparently working in 1824 (perhaps a son?). The Edinburgh castle, Scottish thistle and date letter E are all clear, as is the incuse Georgian duty mark, only introduced in 1784.
