'PLENTY' Teaspoon, c1775 by PR

A rare picture back silver teaspoon that was presumably produced to celebrate a year of good harvest. The picture on the spoon depicts a healthily sized wheat sheath surmounted by the word "PLENTY". This Georgian Old English pattern spoon is appropriately bottom-marked for pre-1781 teaspoons with lion passant and a clear "PR" makers mark. It remains in excellent condition with a crisp picture and good bowl.
