Three dessert spoons 1730 - 1765

"Three Dessert Spoons" is a set of three silver spoons created between 1730 and 1765. The spoons are a simple yet elegant design, with a rounded bowl and a slender, tapering handle. The spoons are attributed to the silversmith John Pittar, though his birth date, 1778, makes it more likely he inherited the work from his father, also a silversmith, who was active in the same time period. The piece is a testament to the craftsmanship of 18th century English silverwork.
