About the Item
A Very Rare George III Silver Mounted Natural Conch Shell Caddy Spoon Made in Birmingham circa 1810 by Matthew Linwood.
The shell has a very attractive shape and colour and has plain silver mounts. The bi-fucated handle has a double thread edge border and is marked on the reverse with the single makers mark of Matthew Linwood who, it would appear, specialised in the production of these spoons. This piece is in excellent condition and measures 3.25 inches in length. As you will appreciate, very few of these spoons were made, however even less have survived because of their fragile nature. A similar example is shown in Caddy Spoons by Captain John Norie, Plate 105, Fig c. We can only recall having two others over all of the years.

Gorham 'Narragansett' Sterling- Silver Shell Dish & Figural Crab Spoon

Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Gorham 'Narragansett' Sterling- Silver Shell Dish & Figural Crab Spoon
USA, circa 1890s
A rare find, two piece set in one of scarcest patterns of the Gorham Mfg. Co. 'Narragansett', a sculptural Shell Dish & Figural Crab Spoon, this offering is the example without a slight gold wash finish.
This sterling silver shell oyster shell complete with figural crab spoon, a diminutive work, yet a captivating piece is a true testament to the artistry of Gorhams American Aesthetic silversmithing. The oval shell is skillfully encrusted with barnacles, creating a mesmerizing texture, and is raised on a smaller vertical rough piddock shell, complete with a rare addition a intertwined rope crab encrusted nautilus spoon.
The shell dish bears the hallmarks of Gorham Silver Company. The serving dish speaks volumes of its quality. Its dimensions, measuring 1.5 inches high, 4.5 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep, are complemented by the 5-inch by 1-inch wide three-dimensional crab-encrusted nautilus spoon, apparently unmarked.
This duo is a rare and unique find, a captivating addition to any table service or collection. Weighing in approximately 5 ounces of sterling silver, this set not only highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of the short lived aesthetic period, embodying the essence of mindful, high-quality Victorian artistry.
