An 18th-century Georgian sterling silver basting and stuffing spoon brings authentic period craftsmanship to a dining setting. The piece is fashioned in solid silver with a polished finish and a metallic silver colour, presenting an Old English pattern without crests or initials. Key visible elements include a deep oval bowl, a long tapered handle, and a plain terminal, alongside partial hallmarks on the metal. The item measures 31 cm high, 6 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. In a modern home, this serving spoon suits placement on a dining table or sideboard top during formal meals and holiday gatherings. The classic proportions allow it to function as a serving utensil or a display piece within traditional and English Country House interiors.

FAQs

Basting spoons, also referred to as stuffing spoons, emerged as essential components of British formal dining in the late 17th and 18th centuries, designed specifically for dishing roasts and collecting pan juices.

Georgian flatware was predominantly hand-hammered from sterling silver, adhering to a purity standard of 925 parts per thousand silver alloyed with copper for structural durability.

Authentic pieces carry a set of hallmark stamps usually found on the back of the stem, including the makers mark, lion passant, town mark, date letter, and monarch duty mark.

Large silver serving utensils can be incorporated into active table settings alongside modern tableware, displayed inside glazed cabinets, or arranged decoratively on dining sideboards.

Silver should be washed by hand in warm water with mild detergent, thoroughly dried with a soft cloth, and polished occasionally using a specialized non-abrasive silver cream to remove oxidisation.
