Assay Master Hugh Gordon, the spoons converted from Hanoverian pattern, chased Rococo cartouche with single displayed rose head on matted ground to terminal, the lower section of stem with budding rose head the gilded bowls chased and shaped to oak leaf shape (21.6cm long, combined weight 4.4oz) Footnote: Note: These fascinating berry spoons appear to be commemorative of the Stuart and Jacobite cause. While berry spoons are not uncommon the standard of design is almost exclusively connected to exotic fruits and heavily chased bowls. These appear far more deliberate in their choice of designs. While addition of floral motifs cannot be considered unique the addition of a Stuart oak leaf bowl along with the rose in the ever popular Jacobite form cement these as Jacobite pieces
