18e-eeuwse tafellepel gemaakt door - Willem Warren, Groningen (1751-1798) - Spoon - 18th century - .934 silver

Eighteenth-century spoon from Groningen. Made by the silversmith Willem Warren I, who worked from 1751 to 1798. The spoon bowl is attached to the handle with a so-called rats’ tail. The end of the handle is in an accolade shape and ends in a turned-down point. On the back of the handle are initials engraved: G.H.

The spoon has been assayed only with the master mark of Willem Warren I (W in a rectangle). Spoons bearing initials etc. (occasional spoons) were usually made to order and often not submitted for assay. Therefore a year letter is also missing.
The length is 19.5 cm, the width of the bowl is 4.3 cm. The weight of this spoon is 35.1 grams.
