FAQs

A William III silver trefid spoon is a style of flatware produced in England during the late 17th century, named after the three-lobed notched pattern at the top of the handle terminal.

These spoons were hand-hammered from sterling or Britannia standard silver and featured cast or struck bowls joined with a supportive raised ridge, known as a rat-tail, along the reverse.

Authentic pieces feature period London or provincial hallmarks stamped along the stem, a notched three-pointed handle, period prick-dot or block initials, and a distinct rat-tail heel on the back of the oval bowl.

Silver spoons from this period are traditionally displayed within glass tabletop vitrines, lined cutlery drawers, or mounted inside glazed shadow frames to highlight their detailed marks and forms.

Clean silver gently using a soft, non-abrasive cloth and specialist silver foam, avoiding harsh dipping solutions that strip natural age patina from stamped hallmarks and hand-engraved detailing.
