A lovely example of an antique solid sterling silver stilton scoop, dating from the reign of George III. It carries the maker''s mark of Samuel Pemberton and was assayed in Birmingham in 1802.
The scoop itself seems slightly flattened compared to others I have had in stock. There is a small surface ''crack'' in the silver on the back of the scoop, just 3mm in length, highlighted in the photographs. This is detailed for accuracy only as it does not detract from what is an excellent antique almost 220 years old.
The bone handle is well attached and in good order.
Overall, a good, useful antique item from a very well-regarded silversmith.
