Two John Paul Cooper silver tea spoons

Price range: Sold

A rare pair of John Paul Cooper silver tea spoons with cockatoo terminals.  The spoons are of particular interest as they show the JPC monogram mark over stamping a defaced, but clear, Artificers Guild mark.  It is known Cooper sold via the Artificers Guild, but these spoons suggest they may have made items for Cooper.  Assayed for London, 1912.
