Regular price
$460.80
Presented is a wonderful English Georgian sterling silver marrow scoop spoon. This piece dates to 1748. The scoop is double ended, with a regular spoon end and a narrow scoop end for scooping marrow out of bones. Both the spoon end and the scoop end face the same way. The back of the spoon end has a shell decoration, which is rarely seen on marrow spoons. This is a sturdy, well made piece of English silver, and would make an exceptional addition to any silver collection.
This piece is in great overall condition. There are no splits, no breaks, no dents, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
This piece is hallmarked on the underside with the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopard's head crowned for the city of London, a date letter of n for 1748, and a maker's mark for Thomas Jackson.
The marrow spoon is about 8 1/8 inches long.
The marrow spoon weighs 41.0 grams or 1.5 regular ounces.
