'Oak Leaf' Caddy Spoon, 1821

This is a form of caddy spoon we have not previously encountered and with its bowl in the form of five overlapping oak leaves, it is a very fine example. The pretty handle has a bifurcated stem and junction to the bowl and the handle is beautifully engraved with leaf motifs. There is a clear set of hallmarks to the underside of the terminal and the condition is excellent throughout.
