1545-50 Henry VIII English Sterling Silver Seal-Top Spoon of London
$3,600.00
A scarce 1545-50 English London seal top sterling silver spoon. This spoon has all the classic characteristics. Hand hammered fig form bowl and a clear 1545-50 London crowned leopard in the bowl. Octagonal handle and a sand cast urn form seal top terminal. There are traces of gilt still remaining on the urn. Spoon is engraved with an 'x' on the seal top. Some patina across the spoon including some surface scratching, pits, and other very small battle scars. Overall, condition is impeccable and remarkable. The gauge of the spoon is moderate gauge construction and the condition is probably owed to this. (Reference: History of English Plate, C.J. Jackson Figs. 637/8, 1911)
Weight: 34 grams
Length: 6." (172mm)
