A collection of five (four unmarked) arts and crafts silver spoons
For sale as a single collection, or individually (please enquire), is this collection of five arts and crafts silver spoons. Condition of all spoons is excellent. From left to right as per the main image these are:
A1261a An unmarked small teaspoon. This spoon was bought with A1261b/c and is probably by the same unidentified maker. As with the other spoons it is high on ambition and detail but quite crudely made despite the fine intricate work. 9.0 cm long, 6 grams. c 1905. SOLD
A1261b An unmarked caddy or teaspoon with enamel. The enamel finial designed with an inset floral champleve enamel panel. This spoon was bought with A1261a/c and is probably by the same unidentified maker. As with A1261a it is crudely made but with fine quite intricate work. 10.5 cm long, 14 grams. c 1905. SOLD
A1261c An unmarked teaspoon set with an amethyst. A delicate spoon set with a nice amethyst to the terminal. As for A1261a/b it is quite crudely made but with considerable detail. 12.0 cm long 14 grams. SOLD
A1261d An unmarked large silver spoon. With leaf design to the terminal and scrolling wires to the stem. A really well made and satisfyingly heavy authentic arts and crafts spoon. c 1905. 19.0 cm long. 57 grams. SOLD
A1272 An Oliver Baker designed spoon for Levi and Salaman. This is marked for Levi & Salaman but interestingly similar (identical?) spoons were made by Hukin and Heath and Liberty & Co. My feeling is Baker sold his design to both Liberty and Hukin and Heath – and Levi Salaman acquired these spoons from the latter (adding their sponsor mark) as wholesaler/retailer. 13.0 cm long, 18 grams. Birmingham 1904. Registration number (rubbed). SOLD
