This is a good quality George IV Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the traditional Fiddle pattern. A crest of a horse's head, a device used by many families over the centuries, is engraved at the top of the stem.

The teaspoon was made in London by silversmith Robert Rutland and dates to 1823. Robert Rutland was a specialist spoon and flatware maker who registered his first mark at London’s Goldsmiths Hall in 1807. He produced consistently good quality pieces and remained in business into the late 1820s.

Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after 200 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The teaspoon is 14.2cm / 5.6ins long and weighs in at a respectable 23.0g / 0.81oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, 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 h for 1823, the George IV duty mark and the R R makers' mark for Robert Rutland.
