Description: | From a collection of 16 various long handled spoons; Eight with twist handles and 7 with plain. Most bear marks for Amsterdam. This one has a figure on the end of the handle.
This is part of a collection of over 350 pieces of flatware and cutlery from the Whistler Estate. Whistler's silver was a working collection of late 18th and early 19th century Dutch and English ware, acquired in the late 1880s and 1890s with his wife Beatrix Whistler. A plate book (coll. Glasgow University Library Special Collections, ref W NB7) recrds some purchases. Whistler's taste was for elegant neo-classical pieces which he often had marked with his distinctive butterfly design | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
