George III Silver Salt Spoon, S & J Blake, 1815
This is a well made George III Sterling Silver Salt Spoon in the classic Old English pattern. The bowl of the spoon has been gilded for protection against salt corrosion. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The salt spoon was made in London by the mother and son team of Sarah and John William Blake and dates to 1815, the year of the Battle of Waterloo. John Blake was a specialist spoon maker who registered his first mark at Goldsmith’s Hall in London in 1788. After his death in 1808 the business was continued by his widow Sarah in partnership with their son John William Blake, who eventually took sole control of the firm in 1823 and continued into the 1830s, still as specialist spoon makers.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 200 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The salt spoon is 10.5cm / 4.1ins long and weighs in at 10.8g / 0.38oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the London date letter U for 1815, the George III duty mark and the S B over I B makers' mark for Sarah Blake and John William Blake.
Shipping in the UK is £5 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
