3 Macaroni Servers An American Speciality? By Miles Harrison From the 1850s onwards one finds references in American silver catalogues and American patent documents to silver macaroni servers, knives, forks and spoons. All four terms refer to more or less the same object: a nine to ten inch utensil with a slightly concave and partly serrated blade/bowl.

4 London Hallmarking Cycle Research By David McKinley Further to my article on this subject in the May/June, page 12, issue of The Finial, I would like to thank David Whitbread, Michael Baggott and Malcolm Rice for their correspondence and Richard Stagg for his contribution and excellent picture in the July/August issue. As promised, here are my findings resulting from all this input which, I am afraid, are as yet not conclusive. I have now had the chance to examine the marks on several cauldron salts, a caster, a bun pepper, tablespoons, a porringer, a salver and a cream pail and have been given information on tablespoons, dessert spoons, a caster and a sauce ladle. The dates involved are 1740/43/44/45/46/47/48/49/51/52/53/54 and 55. In each case the lion is not top indented whereas, as shown in my introductory article it was so treated in 1755 on a cauldron salt. As I have already stated there appears to be some controversy about the year, or years, in which the outline to the lion in the London date cycle 1739 to 1755 was top indented. David Shlosberg, in his book on tea tongs, makes the following statement: It used to be thought that there were two distinct shapes for the punch - one from 1739 to 1750 and the second from 1751 to However, research undertaken by the Wine Label Society has shown that the latter was simply a variant of the first 1. My own findings, however, lead me to believe that the problem is a little more complicated than would appear from the findings of the Wine Label Society. Jackson identified 1751/2 as the only year in which this feature is exhibited but I have not been able to establish this by observation. In fact the only year in which I have observed this feature is 1755/6 although, as can be seen, I have not as yet been able to examine items of plate for every year in this cycle. As I have seen marks for 1751/2, which do not exhibit this feature I am led to the conclusion that reference to Jackson can be misleading and I must confess that I can offer no explanation for this. There are two difficulties with this research; firstly I find myself at variance with Jackson, which I find confusing, and secondly, as stated in my previous article, I cannot refer to the records at Goldsmiths Hall to clarify things since no record of the punches used, other than the date letters, was kept until Richard also draws attention to the punch outline to the leopard s head, which is very clear on his porringer of 1754 and is also discernable on the bun pepper of the same date which I examined, that appears to differ from the norm as shown in Jackson. I have to confess that most of the leopard s head marks for this cycle that I have examined have either been too distorted or too rubbed to come to any conclusion about their outlines but I notice that the quadruple peaked leopard s head, which Richard refers to as standard, is shown in an early edition of Jackson, like the top indented lion, as relating to 1751 although in the case of this mark it is shown as being used in the following years as well. A footnote reads: Although a punch for the leopard s head mark different in form from that of was used between 1751 and 1756, its use was not entirely general,. In this connection I have to report that the only clear evidence I have so far found for this feature relates to the isolated years 1740, 1753 and 1755 and it is clear from Richard s picture and the bun pepper mentioned here that it was not a feature of the 1754 leopard s head punch. It seems that, without the ability to examine every single item of plate still extant that was marked during this period, some confusion concerning the leopard s head mark must remain unresolved. I am led to the belief, however that the reasons for creating alternative punches for the leopard s head were not the same as those concerning the lion and that the dates relating to each do not therefore conform. Although I can show that there were specific years in which alternative punches were used, there is not enough evidence to be able to be categorical about which years these were or on which items of plate they were used. In the case of the lion however I have to say that 1755 is the.4.

5 only year in which I have observed a top indented punch outline and although I can offer no explanation for the use of variant leopard s head punches I can offer a possible explanation for the use of a top indented lion if, in fact, 1755 proves to be the only year in which it was used. During the period 1739 to 1754 Thomas Long was the Company s engraver and he was therefore responsible for introducing the new indented punches on 18 th July However Long died in 1754 and the Company engaged an engraver by the name of Henry Yates to take his place. Therefore it was Yates who made the punches for Unfortunately for Yates, The Company found his work to be of indifferent quality;...and it being observed that the marks of late have been engraved in a very ordinary manner, 2 and sought to engage the services of the well established engraver and medal maker Thomas Pingo in his stead; the Court ordered that Mr. Thomas Pingo do engrave Two Sizes of each of the marks Pingo produced trial punches for 1756 which were approved by the Company and he was engaged as their engraver accordingly. Pingo therefore took over from Yates in 1756 for which year he produced punches, which under instruction from the Company, had a completely different outline from those of the previous cycle so that the last year in which the indented outline punches were produced was My theory is that Yates wanted to differentiate between the punches he had made and those made by his predecessor, Long, and the indenting of the upper surface of the lion outline was the method he chose. Thus 1755 would have been the only year in which there were lions that did have this distinctive feature. That there were flat topped lions also used in this year (on a caster and the sauce ladle) presumably indicates that the punches were 1754 punches which were considered to be still in sufficiently good condition that they could be used in If I m right in this, and I suppose only time and further observation will tell, then any teaspoon, tea strainer (mote) spoon, sugar nips, condiment spoon and the like that is struck with a top indented lion can safely be dated to All comments and observations by fellow members will be most welcome even if they blow my theory out of the water!

Dr. David Shlosberg - Eighteenth Century Silver Tea Tongs - p Court Book th April p Ibid -o-o-o-o-o-o- Museu da Quinta das Cruzes An Unexpected Delight By Cathy Chivers On a recent visit to Funchal in Madeira we visited the gracious Madeiran mansion, built on the site where the first ruler Joao Zarco had his home, Museu da Quinta das Cruzes, (Mansion of the Crosses). In the 17 th century it became the elegant home of the Lomelino family and is now a museum full of antiques and fine art. In their dark blue, purposely designed, air conditioned basement there is a rich collection of historic silver. Room 17 houses Portuguese and European/English Goldsmiths from 16 th to 19 th centuries. The pieces come from bequests by Cesar Gomes (1946) and Joao Wetzler (1966) and illustrate the diversity in silver production over that time. Notable are two silver and coral English babies rattles, silver and ebony Mexican slave figures. There are standing cups with covers, tankards and coffee pots as well as spoons and fine ecclesiastical objects. Overall there are more than 200 silver pieces. The rest of the Museum houses furniture, pictures, ceramics, etc. set in a stunning location overlooking the town and surrounded by a delightful garden with teahouse. It is well worth a visit..5.

6 A Piece of Carden Terry s Personal Flatware By Trevor Downes I recently acquired this pickle fork from an online auction. The seller, fortunately for me, had not provided clear images for their listing, but as a lover of Irish Georgian silver, I could see enough to make my heart thump, for, unless a set of marks had completely worn away, then this fork bore only the maker s mark of Carden Terry and Jane Williams of Cork. Could this possibly be a piece of personal flatware owned by the Terry family? Similar examples of silverware struck with the maker s mark only and for the personal use of the silversmith can be seen on the Chawner family s flatware (see Ian Pickford s Silver Flatware p.33). My bid was successful and a few days later I took delivery of what was to prove a most interesting item. A close inspection revealed no trace of any previous marking, neither that of official Dublin hallmarks or the Cork Sterling mark, just the CT over IM maker's mark. Now, I m the eternal optimist, and being aware of that fact, I started to think of all the reasons that may have caused me, by wishful thinking, to maybe jump to the wrong conclusion. I first wondered if such a piece would have been made and in use at Cork at this time. This fear was allayed by finding two similar examples, one by Samuel Reily that was exhibited at the Four Centuries of Craftsmanship exhibition at Cork in 2005, and another by Terry & Williams themselves that was assayed at Dublin in The next seed of doubt that entered my head was the possibility that this piece may have been intended for assay at Dublin and was perhaps lost or stolen en route or even possibly that the customer who had ordered the fork had suddenly had need for his order and persuaded Terry to part with the fork without having to wait for the undoubted delay that the journey to Dublin would have caused..6.

8 A Brief Review of Three Scottish Sales By Mr M. Snow, Ice and more Snow! Unfortunately I was unable to either view or attend the three sales in Edinburgh at the end of November and the beginning of December. The reason for this, as you probably saw in the media, being the weather around Edinburgh and the central belt of Scotland was extremely bad. Roads blocked and extremely low temperatures. Lyon & Turnbull Sale, Edinburgh 30 th November There was only one lot of provincial silver in this sale, a Forres toddy ladle (Fig. 1), matching one sold there in the August sale. Comparing the photos of the marks it would appear that they were better on this ladle. This was reflected in the price attained being 2,200 compared with the previous example of 2,100. Members may be interested to know that the Commonwealth silvergilt slip top spoon in that sale did not sell. Fig. 1 Thomson Roddick Sale of Provincial Silver 2 nd December With only between fifty and sixty lots of provincial silver, including Glasgow, I would suggest that this was the smallest offering that has been seen at these bi-annual sales. The obvious highlight of this sale was a Wick toddy ladle by John Sellar (Lot 81). As expected it attained the highest price of 1,100. An interesting two Lots 93 & 94 were a matching pair of teaspoons, which sold for 230 each. A good price for teaspoons as long as you know to whom and where this mark can be attributed! Bonhams Edinburgh Silver Sale 8 th December There appeared to be no obvious reportable items amongst the few lots of provincial silver. However there were a couple of items of Edinburgh flatware that may merit a mention. Lot 581 (Fig. 2): This set of six mid 18 th century dog nose tablespoons sold for 550 against an estimate of Possibly a higher price may have been attained (not knowing their condition) if they had had a contemporary crest/monogram? Lot 589 (Fig. 3): From the catalogue photo this matched set of six Queen Anne table forks looked in reasonable condition but the marks did look as if they were worn. They also had a later monogram. They sold at 1500 against an estimate of Fig. 2 Fig. 3 -o-o-o-o-o-o-.8.

9 The Auchentorlie Spoon Sells For 28, at Dreweatts Bloomsbury 1 st December 2010 Catalogue Description The Auchentorlie Spoon, an extremely rare and important mid 17 th century Scottish silver slip-top spoon by Alexander Scott, Edinburgh, deacon Andrew Burrell, the back of the bowl inscribed 'M' over 'AA' and 'M' over 'MA', 17.1cm (6.8in) long, 56g (1.8 oz) With Scott's mark nearest to the bowl it is most probable he was the maker and that Andrew Burrell was the deacon. He was deacon for and Scott was deacon himself from 1667 to This then covers the end of the Commonwealth and beginning of Charles II's reign. See How 'English and Scottish Silver Spoons' Vol. II, London 1953, p. 350/1. See also Dalgleish & Fothringham 'Silver: Made in Scotland', National Museum of Scotland exhibition 2008, catalogue p. 45 where the authors note: 'There are five different patterns of spoon in Scotland before the introduction of the trefid after the Restoration: seal-top; disc-end, puritan; slip-top and box-top, there being only a single surviving example of the last two.' Also on p. 51 where the (previously) only known example is illustrated, cat. no. 3.45, by Gilbert Kirkwood, Edinburgh (lent from a private collection at Mount Stuart). The 'Bute collection' example from Mount Stuart however is of French type with a lozenge section stem. Provenance: The Ferguson-Buchanan Family of Auchentorlie, Nr Bowling, Dunbartonshire (they lived at Auchentorlie from the early 1800s until the house was demolished in the 1970s); by direct descent to the present vendor. According to information supplied from the family, this spoon originally came from Auchentorlie House, Dunbartonshire. The initials on the back of the spoon would suggest that it probably entered into the family through a marriage and further research may bring to light the original owners of the spoon. The stem is strong, widening towards the finial to 24 mm circumference from 20mm at the base of the stem. The line of the stem slightly misshapen about the punches caused by the strike. Minor nicks and scratches on the side of the stem. Burrell's mark is struck 4 cm up the stem, the top LH corner slightly obscured, a gap of 4mm between his mark and the town mark, which is slightly obscured and off set. There is a gap of 6mm between the latter mark and Scott's, whose is a little rubbed but still clear. The bowl is of a good and relatively even gauge, although appears slightly thicker on the right hand shoulder (as viewed from the back). There is no thinning at the lip of the spoon. There is a small pinhead dent 18 mm into the drop of the bowl and three other very minor ones about, possibly tooth marks, otherwise the inside of the bowl with light scuffs and scratches commensurate with age. The back of the bowl is clean of any dents or flaws except for expected light areas of pitting..9.

10 Feedback Anne Graham responds: What a delight to open December s Finial to read Jurgen Beyer s article Andrea Sperl Maker of Captain s Spoons, page 9 11, and many thanks to him for his dedicated research revealing the identity of the Pernau silversmith Andreas Sperl. It was very interesting to read how Jurgen had traced Andreas Sperl from his arrival from Turku, his marriage, his move to the countryside to run a large dairy farm, hard work I imagine, and his return perhaps for retirement. Andreas Sperl died in 1841 at the age of 71. This would suggest that my Pernau spoon dated 1839, by the prick-dot script alone 1, was made much earlier as it seems doubtful he was still silversmithing at the age of 69. Jurgen s article quotes Hamran as suggesting that each firm used a special design for its spoons, which remained unchanged for a long period even if another silversmith started to produce them. Maybe the ship broking firm placed orders in dozens in order to have a supply on hand. Walter Brown s Sperl Pernau forks 2 must be earlier than he has provisionally dated them and I look forward to reading his comments. I agree with Jurgen that it is unlikely these spoons were handed out as bribes or rewards, their value was insufficient for that purpose, and all the spoons I have handled are very lightweight. In part, I agree that these were promotional gifts, but far superior to the ballpoint pen example. I think these spoons were given by the shipbrokers to establish a friendship, over and above commercial payment, to the Captains who were entrusted with the responsibility of precious cargoes. Dutch museums in the Groningen area have numerous examples of captains spoon which can be viewed on line and some of the silver internet forums (or fora) discuss them. It seems to be mainly Dutch captains who collected the spoons to take home although occasionally mention is made of Danish recipients as well. Henrik Hachmer s charming book Greetings from Riga 3 outlines the history of trade between the Dutch and Baltic countries and has a chapter devoted to Captains spoons. Interestingly it shows the engraving on a spoon given by the ship broking firm Jacob Jacke in 1843, two years after Sperl s death, and four years after my spoon s date. This one bears the maker s name of J. Nagel 4 so presumably the batch made by Sperl had by then run out. A Baltic holiday calls reading the records of Jacob Jacke to try to establish the identity of RJB on the front of my Pernau spoon these initials are in prick-dot writing, which I believe peculiar to the Baltic regions, so perhaps his name is in the ledgers somewhere.

11 Michael Baggott s some feedback: I was delighted to read Richard s article in The Finial (Nov/Dec 10, York: Edward Jackson by Richard Jonas, page 8) and must congratulate him on the discovery of an example of Jackson s mark alongside the gothic d date letter. I certainly have not observed another example (though one hopes another will turn up). I'm so pleased that the transcription of the Assay Office Ledger is proving useful, not just a dusty relic! It s not surprising that the gothic letter d punch was used in 1817, it is not unusual to find date letters (particularly in the period) running on a little in use, the only conclusion being that the date letter changed with very little regularity. Another example of this happening can be seen in a pair of muffineers bearing the gothic a for , though they were submitted for assay on 13 th February 1815 (York Hallmarks, page 84). Also on a related but slightly different tack: Recently a pair of butter shells or escallop shells as they are referred to in the Assay Ledger, have turned up on the open market, sadly the dealers who had them had sold them before an image of the marks could be obtained and the new owner wishes not to have them reproduced. However what is fascinating and instructive is that they bore the seldom seen maker s mark of Robert Cattle. They were not part of the single parcel submitted by him at the end of 1807 (until now the only pieces thought to bear his single RC mark). The first entry for escallop shells is the first entry for the partnership of Cattle and Barber on the 27 th December 1807 (page17 of the Assay Office Ledger), clearly illustrating that upon the change of partnership a new mark wasn t immediately produced and that some or all of the wares in this first early parcel will bear the RC only maker s mark of Robert Cattle. Note: if any member does know of the whereabouts of these pieces or other distinctive RC marked wares and can supply an image of the item and marks please do not hesitate to let me know. -o-o-o-o-o-o- N. & I.
