George III Silver Teaspoon, Solomon Hougham, 1812
This is a well made George III Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the traditional Fiddle pattern. The top of the stem is elegantly engraved with a crest of a rampant lion.
The teaspoon was made in London by noted silversmith Solomon Hougham and dates to 1812. Charles Hougham registered his mark at Goldsmiths Hall in London in 1769. He was a fine silversmith who primarily produced spoons and flatware but also some other good pieces of tableware. Charles’ brother Solomon took over the business after Charles’ death in 1793 and expanded the range of items they produced. Around 1818, Solomon went into a brief partnership with Solomon Royes and John East Dix, who continued the business after Solomon Hougham’s death.
Condition is extremely good, with no dings or dents, no wear to the tip and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 210 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The teaspoon is 14.1cm / 5.5ins long and weighs in at a very respectable 21g / 0.74oz 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 R for 1812, the George III duty mark and the S H makers' mark for Solomon Hougham.
Shipping in the UK is £4.50 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
