Victorian Silver Butter Knife, Jos.Williams, 1894
This is a good quality late Victorian Sterling Silver Butter Knife in the popular Albany pattern. The spoon is double struck so has the distinctive ribbed Albany pattern on both sides of the stem. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The butter knife is made by Josiah Williams & Co of Bristol and assayed in London in 1894. Josiah Williams & Co were a hugely successful firm of silversmiths, the biggest in England outside of London, Birmingham and Sheffield. They traced their history back to Robert Williams succeeding to the business of William Woodman in around 1838. The firm passed through several generations of the Williams family becoming Josiah Williams & Co in 1879. Later partners included George Jackson and David Fullerton before they became a limited company in 1925. They finally ceased trading around 1940.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after nearly 130 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The butter knife is 13.3cm / 5.2ins long and weighs in at a respectable 19.2g / 0.68oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the blade, are nice and clear to read with just a little rubbing to the makers' mark. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter T for 1894 and the G M J makers' mark for George Maudsley Jackson, who was head of Josiah Williams & Co at this time.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
