George III Silver Salt Spoon, London, 1789 George III  Georgian 1780s %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is a smart George III Sterling Silver Salt Spoon. The spoon is in the classic Old English pattern with a spade shaped bowl, which was the transitional form between salt shovels and salt spoons with rounded bowls. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The salt spoon was made in London by the partnership of Samuel Godbehere and Edward Wigan and dates to 1789. Samuel Godbehere registered his first mark at Goldsmith’s Hall in London in 1784 and partnered with Edward Wigan from 1786. They were later joined by James Boult or Bult in 1800. Wigan retired in 1818 and Godbehere the following year leaving James Boult in sole control. The firm ceased trading in the early 1820s.

Condition is good, with no dings or dents, no salt corrosion and just a slight kink in the stem plus the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after 235 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The salt spoon is 10.1cm / 3.97ins long and weighs in at 6.4g / 0.23oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are a little rubbed but still clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the London date letter o for 1789, the George III duty mark and the S G over E W makers' mark for Samuel Godbehere and Edward Wigan.
