A pair of George III silver berry spoons, etc.

A pair of George III silver berry spoons, the gilded bowls with later embossed fruiting foliage and crimped rim, leading to a bright-cut engraved stem with floral motifs and scroll enclosed cartouche with engraved initial, hallmarked Exeter 1818, maker's mark probably William Woodman, length measuring 8 6/8 inches (22.5 cm). Together with an Arts & Crafts style planished silver spoon, hallmarked Birmingham 1909, plus a late Victorian silver spoon with twisted stem and Apostle terminal. Gross weight 5.5 ozt (171.2 grams). In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The gilding on the berry spoons appears a little dull in appearance, both engraved with the initial 'A', remnants of polish visible in between the embossed decoration. Minor loss of definition to the planished spoon. Hallmarks clear and legible.
