FAQs

A George II silver stuffing spoon, also known as a hash or basting spoon, is a large piece of 18th-century English flatware designed for serving roasted meats, poultry, and side dishes.

Spoons from this period were hand-forged from solid sterling silver containing 92.5 percent silver content, crafted by silversmiths using traditional hammer and anvil techniques.

Authentic pieces feature struck hallmark stamps along the stem or bowl reverse, including the lion passant for sterling quality, a makers mark, a date letter, and an assay town mark such as Londons leopard head.

Large silver spoons can be displayed on sideboards inside glazed cabinets, incorporated into dining table centrepieces, or framed within shadow boxes as accent wall art.

Silver flatware should be washed gently by hand in warm soapy water and polished with a specialised silver cream, avoiding dishwasher use and abrasive chemicals that strip patination.
