Old English Silver Sugar Sifter Spoon, 1793 Richard Crossley

This is a beautiful Georgian silver sugar sifter spoon made by one of the top specialist spoonmakers of the period, Richard Crossley.

This good-sized spoon is in Old English pattern and has an unusual engraved crest to the front terminal. The bowl is attractively engraved with scrolls, crosslets and roundels and the hallmarks to the reverse side are cleanly struck. A fine 18th century sifter spoon in excellent condition.
