FAQs

A hook end basting spoon is a large 18th-century serving utensil designed with a turned curve at the handle end. This practical design feature prevented the spoon from slipping fully into deep roasting dishes or large serving bowls.

These spoons were hand-forged from solid sterling silver, conforming to the standard purity of 925 parts per thousand. The pieces were struck from silver ingots and shaped using specialized hammers before being hand-finished and hallmarked.

Authentic Irish Georgian silver features specific assay marks, including the Hibernia mark, the crowned harp, a date letter, and makers initials registered with the Dublin Assay Office. The weight, hand-hammered density, and period-accurate engraving style also indicate authenticity.

An antique silver basting spoon can be presented inside a glass display cabinet, mounted within a shadow box frame on a dining room wall, or laid flat on a sideboard as part of a curated dining table vignette.

Clean sterling silver using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish to remove oxidisation without scratching the metal. Store pieces in anti-tarnish cloth bags or lined cases away from direct humidity and harsh atmospheric pollutants.
