Northwestern Europe, England, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A fine collection of 4 Queen Anne style silver dog-nose spoons and 1 tablespoon with a broad finial.

The flat handle widens at the finial then tapers to a rounded point, which is supposed to resemble a dog's head from above. All are stamped with maker, city, and purity marks on the handles, although they are faint, a few are more legible than others. The finials on each spoon are engraved on the verso of the terminal; 3 with engraved initials, and 1 with a castle, and a ship on the broad tablespoon. Size: 7.75" L x 1.65" W (19.7 cm x 4.2 cm); quality of silver: 95%; weight: 250 grams
