1804-19 Sterling Silver Georgian Teaspoon Set of twelve (12) by Dorothy Langlands (10) and Thomas Watson (2) of Newcastle
$850.00
A scarce set of possibly related twelve (12) Newcastle sterling silver teaspoons, 10 by Dorothy Langlands and 2 by Thomas Watson. These were traveling together and since both have a 'G' surname, it's entirely possible they are related and thus are sold as an assembled set. The Watson spoons were made shortly after the retirement of Dorothy Langlands. Dorothy Langlands was one of a small number of women silversmiths. She, like Hester Bateman, took over and continued the work of her husband, John Langlands II when he died in 1804. She continued to run the business up until her retirement in 1814.
Overall, the set includes:
A set of ten 1804-14 teaspoons marked for George III, sterling, Newcastle, and Dorothy Langlands. These are monogrammed in Langlands' trademark sloppy way 'JG'.
A set of two teaspoons marked for Newcastle, Sterling, George III, 1819, and Thomas Watson. Theses are monogrammed indistinctly with a 'G'
Conservative condition report: Condition is age appropriate. One Watson spoon has had an old repair at the stem-bowl joint and both Watson spoons with some tooth marks in the bowl. Some minor bends in the stems etc in most of them. Slight variation in bowl shapes. Some marks and engraving strong, others less so. Surface scratching. Not over-polished and have not been machine buffed.
A little over 5.5" on the spoons.
Weight is 207.6 grams
