Victorian Silver Salt Spoon, William Eaton, 1840
This is a top quality, heavy early Victorian Sterling Silver Salt Spoon, double struck in the popular Fiddle & Thread patern. The bowl is gilded but this has rubbed away to some extant. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The salt spoon was made in London by well regarded silversmith William Eaton and dates to 1840. William Eaton was a specialist spoon maker who registered his first mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1813. He produced very high quality flatware up until his death in 1845, at which point his widow Elizabeth took over the running of the business, being joined by their son John in 1858. The firm was finally sold to Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater in 1863.
Condition is good, with no dings or dents. There is some minor salt corrosion inside the bowl where the gilding has worn away after many years of polishing. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
As you would expect from William Eaton, this is a well made salt spoon in a good heavy gauge of silver. It is 11cm / 4.3ins long and weighs in at a very respectable 21.7g / 0.77oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the Gothic date letter E for 1840, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the W E makers' mark for William Eaton.
Shipping in the UK is £4.50 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
