Item Details
Description
Set of Eight George III Sterling Silver Tablespoons, hallmarked London, 1777-1779, five by George Smith III and three by Joseph Steward II, each in the traditional "Old English Bright Cut" pattern, engraved with the crest of Harvey of Suffolk et al., l. 8-3/4", 18.22 total t. oz. On the three spoons with Steward's mark, the other marks are too rubbed to read, and the maker's mark is clearly over-striking another. More interesting, however, is that one of the Smith spoons is a "duty dodger" example, with the maker's mark struck four times to emulate the official hallmarks and thereby avoid assay duties.
