Victorian Silver Salt Spoon, Exeter, 1845
This is a smart early Victorian Sterling Silver Salt Spoon in the traditional Fiddle pattern. The spoon has the initials E L elegantly engraved at the top of the stem.
The salt spoon is made by Robert Williams & Sons of Bristol and assayed in Exeter in 1845. Robert Williams took over the business from William Woodman in the 1830s and was joined in the 1840s by his sons James and Josiah Williams. It was Josiah who would give his name to the final version of the firm, Josiah Williams & Co, who traded from 1877 to around 1940. As Bristol didn't have its own assay office, they sent their pieces to Exeter to be hallmarked.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that you have to expect after over 175 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The salt spoon is 10.3cm / 4ins long and weighs in at 11.7g / 0.41oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks on the underside of the stem are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the three towered wall assay mark for Exeter, the Gothic date letter J for 1845, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the RW, JW, JW makers' mark for Robert, James and Josiah Williams of Robert Williams & Sons.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
