Stock No. 7024	Set of six George III Hanoverian dessert spoons
	Set of six sterling silver George III Hanoverian pattern dessert spoons. All the six spoons have the same family crest with motto above engraved at the end of the back of the stem. The crest of a right hand held erect and holding a club, with the motto of "FRAPPE FORTE" above is that of Wodehouse. Even though one of the dessert spoons is by a different maker from the other five, this is not at all noticeable. It is probable that more spoons were needed and were made up to match by the other maker. The pronounced drop at the bowl end of the six stems is indistinguishable and the family crest at the end of each stem has obviously been engraved by the same hand.
	Maker :- 5 - Isaac Callard, 1 - Thomas & Wm. Chawner

Condition :-Very good condition and pleasing patina. The bowls are well shaped and not worn. The hallmarks are quite good in spite of the narrowness of the stem. However, the date mark on one of the Isaac Callard spoons and on the T & W Chawner spoon is too worn away to be legible.
Hallmarked :- London 1768		.
Size :- 6.6 inches long (16.76cm)
Weight :- 7.28 ozt (226.4g)
Hanoverian dessert spoons are much more difficult to find than tablespoons. Isaac Callard and the Chawner brothers were spoonmakers of high repute.
