Georgian Silver Strainer Spoon, 1792 Griffin Crest

This is an elegant George III period silver strainer spoon complete with original crest to the front terminal.

At almost 12" long, this is a good-sized serving piece with original strainer to the inside of the bowl - this was traditionally used for serving gravy but is equally adept for other serving purposes that require some straining. The crest is nice and crisp and features a griffin with shield - this mythical creature features an eagle's head and talons to the front and a lion's rear body.

The spoon was made by the top spoonmaker William Fearn (WF maker's mark has been struck twice) and is in superb condition.
