Description: | A postmedieval silver spoon stem and rounded handle terminal (now in two parts). The stem has broken away from the handle and the spoon bowl is missing. The terminal has a pronounced bulbous end with the initials 'A * R' engraved on one side; the other side is plain. The stem bears no discernable hallmarks. It is difficult to find a parallel for the terminal as most known postmedieval spoons with rounded ends have straighter sides. The nearest parallel on the PAS database is a William III pewter spoon handle HAMP-74D478, which is dated to 1698 - 1702. However, there is not enough evidence on the silver spoon stem to suggest such a specific date, therefore a broad 18th century date is suggested.
