This Georgian sterling silver basting spoon is a substantial serving piece made from polished metal with a bright silver finish. The design incorporates a long tapered stem connected to an oval bowl via a drop neck join, and a flared terminal featuring an engraved monogram. The metal surface shows light polishing marks and a softly rubbed maker mark near the narrow end of the handle. Measuring 29 cm in length, this dining utensil originates from London with hallmarks dating to 1819 by makers Thomas and George Hayter. In a modern home, it serves as a decorative display piece on a sideboard top or as a functional serving utensil during formal dining occasions.

FAQs

Produced during the reigns of King George I through King George IV (17141830), these large silver spoons were designed with long handles and deep oval bowls for serving meats, gravies, and stews at formal dining tables.

These spoons were crafted from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for durability, and were typically hand-hammered from a single ingot by skilled silversmiths.

Authentic pieces feature a complete set of British hallmarks, including the makers mark, town mark, sovereigns head duty mark, date letter, and the lion passant indicating sterling purity.

These historical pieces can be displayed on a dining sideboard, mounted inside a shallow box frame, or integrated into table settings alongside modern tableware for mixed-period dining aesthetics.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish designed to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive compounds that strip hallmarking, and store in anti-tarnish cloth bags away from high humidity.
