A very fine William III Britannia Standard Trefid Spoon made in London in 1699 by William Scarlett.

The Spoon is modelled in the trefid style and displays a reed and bead rat tail on the reverse of the bowl. The top of the stem is engraved with a quite beautiful set of prick dot marriage initials and the date 1699. The spoon is of a very thick gauge and displays a good bowl and colour. The stem is very clearly stamped with a full set of hallmarks. The front of the stem is engraved with the initials S*S and the date 1729, relating to a successive owner or event. William Scarlett was a prolific spoonmaker of fine quality.



Length: 8 inches, 20cm.
