Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy spoon bowl and incomplete handle of post-medieval date. The spoon bowl and handle measure 77.3mm length, 44.1mm in width at its widest point and weighs 19.6g. On the back of the bowl there is a short rat-tail. A mark has been stamped inside the bowl adjacent to the stem. This appears to be the initials WR, ligated within a circle. This mark is not recorded in Homer's "Five Centuries of Base Metal Spoons". Unlike goldsmiths (who worked in silver and gold), little is known about the marks of spoonmakers who worked in pewter and brass and it is not possible to identify the maker's mark on this example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
