George III Silver Teaspoon, John Lambe, c.1770s
This is a good quality George III Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the Hanoverian pattern. The Hanoverian pattern is distinguished by its upturned end to the stem and the central rib along the length of the stem. It would have been laid on the table with the bowl facing down and therefore the crest is on the underside of the stem. On this spoon the crest is of a Bishop's mitre.
The spoon is made in London by silversmith John Lambe and dates to the late 1760s or early 1770s, right at the end of the period in which the Hanoverian pattern was produced. John Lambe was active from the late 1760s through until the early 1790s. He was principally a spoon maker and has the distinction of being the earliest spoon maker of whom a portrait has survived.
Condition is very good with just some slight rounding to the bowl of the spoon after stirring many cups of tea down the years plus the superficial surface wear that you have to expect after around 250 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The teaspoon is 11.2cm / 4.4ins long and weighs in at 14.1g / 0.49oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The teaspoon is bottom marked and as with virtually all spoons of this era the marks are distorted and there is only a partial set. However they can still be read, which isn't always the case. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crowned leopard's head assay mark for London and the I.L makers' mark for John Lambe.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
