A rare pair of George I, transitional period* wavy-end/Hanoverian pattern tablespoons with plain rat-tails and a short applied rib along the front of the stem, below a later initialled "G" pricked on the back of the terminal "W.H.I.H", by William Scarlett, 1715, approx. - 20cm long, 3oz. * With the emergence of the "new" Hanoverian pattern after 1714, it seems likely that these transitional period spoons were made with their applied ribs. These ribs however may have been shortened to accomodate the initial "G" later in the 18th century, (the space on the back of the terminal already having been taken up by pricked initials).
