Description: | Silver Post-Medieval slip top spoon. The bowl is fig shaped, culminating in a thin stem with a wedge-shaped terminal. On the front of the bowl, just above the stem, is stamped a crowned leopard's head indicating that the spoon was manufactured in London. On the reverse of the bowl, at the base just above the stem, is the owner's mark; the letters G (with a star on either side) with F E below, made from a series of pecked dots. Just below this on the reverse of the stem is the maker's mark, a square shield containing the letter T with a pellet to the right, and below this a lion passant. The date stamp towards the end of the stem on the reverse is stamped at an angle and almost illegible, but could an 'F' within a square shield. Probably late 16th to 17th century in date.
