Cork Silver Table Spoon, c.1765 William Reynolds

This is a first class example of a rare mid-18th century Irish provincial silver table spoon from Cork.

Made by William Reynolds, this table spoon has a good solid feel in the hand and is in fine condition with a nice, thick bowl tip, good patina and clearly struck marks. The reverse side of the terminal bears a crisp, engraved crest featuring a lion's head erased. The three marks read "WR" in script (twice) and "STERLING".
