3 Introduction There is no doubt that summer has arrived. How do I know this? Because the silver is wilting in the shop: no air conditioning, little airflow and plenty of very hot light bulbs. And the icing on the cake is? The camera I use to photograph all the spoons for the postal auction will not focus at all when it reaches 80 o and the temperature in the shop has been a fairly steady at 83.5 o. However, I have now found the coolest corner in my basement, 77 o, where the camera now resides and comes out for short excursions. 230 Lots in this postal auction has certainly been challenging! Names have been flowing in nice and steadily for The Finial s Silver Jubilee evening party on Saturday 13 th September. And to remind you, if you would like to come and join us, it s per person and you are welcome to bring along guests. On a slightly different note, I have been working for several months with a perfumier (or nose as they are known as in the business) on perfecting an authentic aromatic vinaigrette scent, taken from a 19 th century recipe. I believe we must be the first to produce a vinaigrette scent for at least a hundred years. And I have to say, I think it s absolutely brilliant; it has such a distinctive and addictive smell, and with totally natural ingredients. I am currently working on the labels for the Aromatic Vinaigrette bottles, and will soon be going to market with them. If you are coming to the Jubilee party you will be amongst the first to smell and test it. If you also have a vinaigrette box with a sponge and bring it along, I will be happy to revive it and give you a sample. As you will see on page 10, Graham Bliss has put a little advertisement in for the Putteridge Bury House antiques fair in October. The fair is very friendly and a nice place to wander around, and as the summer months can be little quiet for antique dealers (myself included) and you are looking for a gentle day out, put it in your diary and go and say hello. And you never know you just may find that missing spoon that you have been searching for! I m now off to sit down in the corner of my basement, Daniel. -o-o-o-o-o-o- Are You Old Enough To Buy Spoons Madam? Courtesy of The Telegraph, 30 th January 2012 A WOMAN was challenged to prove her age to buy teaspoons after supermarket checkout staff warned they could be drug paraphernalia. Elinor Zuke said she was shocked when an age verification alert was triggered by a 1.19 pack of six Basics teaspoons at a self-scan checkout in a Sainsbury s store in West Green, Crawley, West Sussex. When Ms Zuke asked why the purchase had to be verified, she was told that the spoons could be used as drug paraphernalia. I could not understand what the problem was, she said. When the supervisor said it was because they could be used as drug paraphernalia I was completely shocked. I would imagine the vast majority of spoons sold by Sainsbury s are used for nothing more nefarious than stirring a cup of tea. Having to prove I was over 18 to buy them seemed total madness. Sainsbury s apologised for the incident and blamed it on a mistake on stock-keeping units (SKUs) which provide a unique identifier for each product. A spokesman told The Grocer magazine: The self-scan system recognised the spoon's SKU as one for a knife. (Incidentally, about 12 years ago, I sold from my website a hand shaped tea caddy spoon to an American collector. The order was processed and shipped off by Fedex to the United States. However, on its journey it was then held up with American customs for 2 weeks, whilst s and telephone calls went back and forth, as they had concerns that the tea caddy spoon could be used for illegal drugs!!!

4 New Light On Huguenot Influence On English Silver By David McKinley It is generally accepted that the Huguenot silversmiths who came to this country in the late 17 th and early 18 th centuries had an enormous influence on the production of our silver plate. Indeed a great deal of the finest plate of the period still extant must be attributed to Huguenot craftsmen, one of whom, Paul de Lamerie, is acknowledged as the finest silversmith of his time. It is a fact, however, that all of this plate is what we refer to as large work and its makers marks are recorded in what is known as the large workers register. What is not usually appreciated is that until the beginning of the 18 th century there was only one register and that the makers marks recorded in it were used on both large and small work. Although there were specialist spoon makers, on the whole English craftsmen, until the end of the 17 th century, produced both large and small work and the concept of two distinct industries needing two distinct registers did not exist. In France on the other hand there was a division, albeit not inflexible, along religious lines. Craftsmen working in silver and making large wares tended to be Catholics and those who mostly worked in gold and specialised in small wares such as decorative boxes and toilet sets tended to be Protestants. Thus the majority of Huguenot (Protestant) goldsmiths who fled persecution in France and settled in London were small workers and specialised in the production of small wares. That they are not known or appreciated is as a result of the attitude of the Goldsmiths Company towards them at the time. In1574 by Act of Common Council aliens (foreigners) were denied freedom of the Goldsmiths Company. They were known as Allows and were granted the privilege of practising their craft on sufferance and only in the street. In 1668 Huguenots were arriving in sufficient numbers that the native silversmiths petitioned the Company against them and the Company responded by not only denying them freedom but by forbidding its own freemen to employ them 1. In 1676 the Goldsmiths Company issued a directive to its freemen instructing them that all their products must be assayed and hallmarked but they used the ambiguous wording unless they could not conveniently bear the marks. In 1678 they issued a further directive clarifying those items they thought should bear the marks and these included All manner of vessels, hilts for swords, buckles for belts, girdles and other harness of silver 2. There was no mention of small boxes or of small spoons such as teaspoons and snuff spoons, which were not part of a silversmith s repertoire until about this date. Until 1717, following advice from counsel, the Goldsmiths Company was denying the right to assay and marking to all but its own freemen so that ipso facto most foreign craftsmen were unable to submit their work to Goldsmiths Hall for any stamp of approval. The majority of Huguenot goldsmiths who were small workers were thus left under the impression that they were outside the jurisdiction of the Goldsmiths Company. Not only could they not get work in established workshops but they deemed their products too small to conveniently bear the marks even if they could have had them assayed. They therefore believed that they need not register their own marks with the Goldsmiths Company..4.

It is a matter of great regret that the first small workers register raised after that date is no longer extant and that therefore there is no clear record of who these small workers were until the last half of the 18 th century. However, it is clear that the fact that there were two distinct specialisms was well established and when in 1773 an assay office was opened in Birmingham there was a thriving industry there which burgeoned during the 19 th century and is now well known for both the quantity and the quality of its small wares. It is accepted that the finest castle top boxes were made in Birmingham at this time by Nathaniel Mills. References 1. J.S. Forbes. HALLMARK A History of the London Assay Office. p William Badcock.

6 The Press Mark and Stub in 1781 By Anthony Dove F. S. A. From the early 18 th century till late 1781 all spoons and forks generally had the maker and assay marks struck individually at the lower end of the handle (nearest the bowl). Unless the stem was thick and wide this frequently resulted in the distortion of all the marks. Figure 1 illustrates a clear set of marks on a tablespoon while Figure 2 shows the result of distortion on a dessert spoon. Fig. 1 On 1 st November after a meeting at the Goldsmiths Hall, the Committee examined some silver spoons with the marks struck upon the upper part of the handles and resolved that it be recommended to the wardens to give their directions to the proper assay officers 2 to mark the table and teaspoons 3 in future upon the upper part of the handles. Fig. 2 Also in this year an entry in the same Committee book on 24 th January 1782 reads a bill delivered by John Aspinshaw for making an extra strong press with a large lever loaded to mark the spoons and several stamps [i.e. punches] and amounting to which bill the Committee ordered to be paid. This would appear to indicate a fly press that had already been in use for marking items such as dishes, waiters and salvers since Fig. 3 Fig. 4 The press mentioned as being used specifically for spoons was probably in the form of a frame with spaces for individual punches that could be replaced when necessary (i.e. with the new date letter). They are shown in the mark plate and referred to in the records as press marks 5 and illustrated here. Figure 3 shows these marks on a tablespoon and Figure 4 on a dessert spoon. I am unaware of any such press marks on teaspoons. Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Fig. 7 At some time also in this year another punch, called a stub 6 was introduced, the exact date of which is unrecorded, (illustrated here Figs. 5, 6 and 7). If the marks on Figures 3 and 5 are compared and likewise Figures 4 with 6 it will be noticeable that the press marks are larger and more widely spaced than the stubs. The latter were much closer together and made in a single punch, which had to be re-cut each year when the date letter changed. While press marks have only been seen at the top, stubs occur both top and bottom although the latter are rare (Figs. 8, 9 and 10). This last, on a teaspoon, is the only example I have ever seen 7..6.

7 Fig. 8 Fig. 9 This raises the interesting question as to precisely when in the year the stub and press marks were introduced relative to the 1 st November date. The mention of the bill for the press cannot be taken as the first date of use. If the directive of the 1 st November was followed, were the press mark and stub used before this date? It is possible that the marks illustrated are examples of postdating a bottom marked spoon perhaps to match up with an earlier flatware service which may be so marked. A comparison of the marks on dessert spoons (Figs. 2 and 9) is interesting as they are both from the same service yet the former has single punches and the latter a stub. Fig. 10 Fig. 11 The provincial assay offices would have all been urged to adopt a similar procedure as soon as possible. The earliest example seen so far after 1781 of a fully top marked piece of flatware is a Newcastle tablespoon (Fig. 11, dated pre duty). If members are aware of any earlier dated examples from any provincial assay offices I would be interested to know. The marks on this spoon are all single punches as the stub did not appear outside London until after c.1800, and to my knowledge was NEVER used at the York assay office. I am very grateful to David Beasley, Eleni Bide and Sophia Tobin of the Library at Goldsmiths hall for their assistance and allowing me access to their records. All spoons are London assayed in 1781 apart from Figure11 Fig. 1 Tablespoon single punches bottom marked Hester Bateman Fig. 2 Dessert spoon single punches bottom marked I. S.? James Sutton Fig. 3 Tablespoon PRESS MARK top marked John Lambe Fig. 4 Dessert spoon PRESS MARK top marked George Smith III Fig. 5 Tablespoon stub top marked John Lambe Fig. 6 Dessert spoon stub top marked George Smith III Fig. 7 Teaspoon stub top marked George Baskerville Fig. 8 Tablespoon stub bottom marked George Smith III Fig. 9 Dessert spoon stub bottom marked I.S.? James Sutton Fig.10 Teaspoon stub bottom marked George Smith III Fig.11 Tablespoon single punches top marked Langlands & Robertson References 1. Assay office court and committee book volume 1 ref B Presumably the provincial assay offices were also informed of this directive. 3. In the eighteenth century the term table spoons sometimes included dessert spoons as they had similar markings as opposed to teaspoons which had only minimal marks. 4.

Assay Office mark book , which refers to press marks large for waiters large for table spoons and middle for dessert spoons. 6. Assay office court committee book volume 2, page 15, the marks are united and made on stubs to be used with presses the better to prevent and detect frauds. 7.

9 A Transitional Snuff Spoon By David McKinley As I have been researching the Harache family of Huguenot silversmiths for some years, I count myself fortunate to have made a successful bid in the 15 th May postal auction for Lot 65, which was catalogued as George II silver Dognose pattern snuff spoon, London c.1730 by Jean Harache. Although of the dognose pattern, this spoon has no rattail and must therefore be categorised as Transitional. Since the dognose pattern was not made much after 1715 whereas the rattail did not disappear until about 1730, this spoon was probably made somewhere between these two approximate dates. On acquiring the spoon my first task was to authenticate its attribution since the maker s mark struck upon it is incomplete. Compare Figure 1 (the mark of Jean Harache as it appears on the mark plate at Goldsmiths Hall) and Figure 2 (mark struck on snuff spoon under review). However at the bottom of page 146 of Jackson s Silver And Gold Marks by Ian Pickford a possible alternative is illustrated. This mark is attributed to John Hodson (free 1683) the upper part of which appears very similar in Jackson s illustration to that of Jean Harache.

10 A Report on the 8 th Swindon Spoon Club Meeting 2014 By Anthony Dove F.S.A. The eighth Spoon club meeting was a great success after its five-year break. Thanks were expressed to Chris and Sarah Bell & Louis Crooks for organising this event. The anticipated numbers were an increase on the previous meeting but unfortunately a number of last minute cancellations had to be made. After registration, the thirty-two members present were welcomed by Louis and the President. The first speaker was Luke Schrager who spoke on the Callard family and their connections. There were a number of slides with details of the family connections and also examples on the table. This was followed by David Whitbread whose talk on Roman spoons was illustrated with both slides and actual specimens, including some possible fakes. The last talk before lunch was by your reporter, on the top marking of flatware with particular reference to the difference between the press mark and stub. A number of examples were shown which illustrated these points, mainly from London but included an early example of top marking from Newcastle. There was a break for an excellent buffet lunch during which members were able to discuss various matters including the talks already given and those to come. Walter Brown then gave an excellent talk on crests and initials illustrated with many examples. Finally there was a mysteries section where objects of interest were shown and discussed. These included an unusual pair of sugar nips on the lazy tongs principle fully marked for 1806 and a similar one made c.1860 with marks inset from spoons. Also shown were a Dutch spoon and a West country seal top. There were discussions on the nimbus as used on apostle spoons and the dimensions of mote spoons. The question was raised on the length of sugar tongs as to whether miniature ones had been shortened. Also shown was an Edinburgh commemorative spoon of 1924 with two complete sets of hallmarks, one full size and the other miniature. After tea, the meeting closed with thanks expressed to all concerned, both speakers and organisers, for a most enjoyable and instructive day with hopes expressed for a future meeting, hopefully not as far away as five years! -o-o-o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o-o-o-.10.

11 Feedback Bruce Jones asks: A possible article for the autumn 2014 Wine Label Circle Journal, is about listing and discussing wine labels bearing a garter crest, which are usually accompanied by a number, yet none appears to have the same number on the reverse. Such labels are in the royal collection but also appear from time to time on the open market. Their appearance on the open market has been attributed to a variety of causes: they were ambassadorial plate, they were gifts from the Sovereign with wine, they were in the royal collection but subsequently sold, they escaped from royal ownership. The aim of the article is to list and illustrate these labels, identify the makers and establish where the ones on the market today originated. I mention this as I noticed that in the September December 2013 double issue of The Finial, Lot 71 in the postal auction was a sauce ladle bearing such a crest, with the mark of George Smith (not a maker associated with wine labels, incidentally). Any thoughts you may have about items with garter crests would be most welcome, including other flatware or hollowware bearing garter crests. (There is a table fork in this issues postal auction, Lot 204, which bears a garter crest Ed.) -o-o-o-o-o-o- Robin Hunt writes: I enclose a photocopy of details of a theft from The London Chronicle, dated December 26 th My question is what is a ragoo spoon? (Gilbon promised obedience, if they would untie his hands. They refused, searched, and wrested from him his keys. No sooner were the doors opened. Than the ruffians seized and carried off 26 covers, a soup-bason, 3 soup and ragoo spoons, and 3 goblets, marked Loius Gilbon, 2 snuff-boxes, 40 counters, and 2 watches, all made of silver; another watch in a gold case, and various other effects, especially a gold cross and a silver key-chain which the wife of Gilbon was then wearing; they tore the cross from her neck, saying, they would take a proces-verbal of it as soon as they should be quiet and easy at Melun, and that those effects were to be carried to the waggon which remained before the door with the escort)..11.
