Reference: S1599 Period: Elizabeth II Year: 1977 Silversmith: C J Vander, Garrard & Co Place: London (8), Sheffield (2) Price: $ 1 150.00 Weight: 308 grams Dimensions: 12.7 cm Condition: Excellent, all 10 spoons in perfect condition, perfectly preserved in custom made box. Description: A very interesting collection of 10 silver replica spoons, all in 16th century style, made to commemorate the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. These are lovely spoons, all very good quality, with very clear hallmarks, and are faithful replicas of the originals, mostly in museums. The spoons include: 1. Leicester spoon, Seal Top, circa 1600 2. Wrythen Knob spoon, London 1500 3. Maidenhead spoon, London 1521 (Blessed Virgin Mary) 4. Owl Knopped spoon, London 1506, original set of 6 at Corpus Christi College, Oxford 5. Lion Sejant, London 1570 6. Cone spoon, London 1538 - "Fruitlet Knop" 7. Pudsey spoon, London 1525, Tudor rose on seal (Mayer Museum, Liverpool) 8. Seal Top spoon, London 1544 9. Leicester spoon, seal top circa 1600, Brittania silver 10. Lion Sejant, London 1570, Brittania silver The first 8 spoons (sterling) were made by CJ Vander in London (one dated 1976 without jubilee mark), the last 2 were made by Garrards in Sheffield, in the higher grade Brittania silver (950). Seven of the first 8 have their original descriptions on cardboard also present. CJ Vander, possibly the last of the great English silversmiths, closed in 2007. Vander inherited tools and dies from some of the greatest names in spoonmaking, including Eley, Fearn, Chawner, Mappin & Webb, Elkington, Higgins, and Goldsmiths & Silversmiths. We believe the box was custom made for this set in 1977 for a collector, so this is probably a unique collection.
