Irish Marrow Spoon, 1750

Of typical spoon bowl and narrow scoop form, this Irish silver marrow spoon is unusual in being dessert spoon sized. It bears a clear Hibernia and Crowned Harp mark for the circa 1750 period and is engraved three times; a crest to the reverse of the bowl, a "I*II" betrothal initials (I.e. a surname and two forenames beginning with the modern "J") and more unusually "LH" initials to the inside of the bowl.

This is a good quality Dublin-made marrow spoon with lots of interesting features. It remains in fine condition with an unworn bowl.
