SEAL-TOP SPOONS

While the earliest seal-top spoon which can be exactly dated is the Pudsey spoon of 1525 Commander and Mrs How note examples which stylistically as early as circa 1450. The term seal-top is perhaps something of a misnomer as it would suggest that the finial is intended to be used with wax to seal an envelope however as such the engraving should be reversed and How notes that no example has yet appeared which is so engraved.
