George III Silver Salt Spoon, S. Adams, 1794
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 Stephen Adams and dates to 1794. There were two Stephen Adams, father and son, whose careers overlapped in the late 18th century and both used the same makers’ marks. Stephen Adams (I) registered his first mark at Goldsmiths Hall in London in 1760, with his son Stephen Adams (II) registering in 1784. They both produced fine quality work, primarily in flatware and tableware. Stephen Adams (I) died around 1802, with his son carrying on until around 1815.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents, no salt corrosion and just the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after over 230 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The salt spoon is 10.2cm / 4ins long and weighs in at 8.2g / 0.29oz 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 t for 1794, the George III duty mark and the S A makers' mark for Stephen Adams, either father or son.
