Seal Top Spoon - possibly Southampton.

Post by juantotree »

Hi

This seal top spoon is marked to the bowl with what I think is a rose, leading me to believe possibly Southampton.

The stem is marked twice with a cinquefoil mark, Jackson's (p524) shows a very similar mark in the unascribed section, seen on a mid 16thc seal top spoon.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this, either supporting the above observations or should I be looking in a different direction?

Many Thanks
Martin

:::::::: I tried to look in up in my Jackson's but your page number doesn't correlate with my page 524, there are no unascribed marks on my page 524. :::::::::

:::::::: I would immediately think Montrose but this spoon seems much too early to be Scottish Provincial Montrose. ::::::::::::::::::

Thanks for your response, the mark I was referring to is the 3rd from the top on the image below.
