Bright-cut engraved Caddy Spoon, 1789 Norie 5f

This handsome silver caddy spoon benefits from both fine looks and by appearing in the major work on caddy spoons by John Norie. 

The spoon was made by top specialist spoonmaker Richard Crosley and has a beautifully bright-cut engraved handle and fan-shaped bowl. the long rectangular handle bears an original script monogram to the front terminal and London hallmarks to the reverse. Apart from a couple of short scratches to the reverse side, this caddy spoon is in excellent crisp condition.

Provenance: this is a documented spoon that features as Plate 5f in "Caddy Spoons: An Illustrated Guide" by John Norie.
