1814 Phineas Garde Cork Irish Sterling Silver Salt Spoon, Erased Cow's Head Crest (4 g) LRC

$60.00
A charming Georgian Cork sterling silver salt spoon made in 1814 by the Irish silversmith Phineas Garde. This petite example features the elegant simplicity typical of early 19th-century Irish salt spoons, with a delicate form designed for use with individual salt cellars at the dining table. The handle bears an engraved cow's head crest that has since been erased, preserving a subtle trace of its original armorial history. Measuring just under 4 inches in length and weighing 4 grams, this diminutive piece demonstrates the fine craftsmanship found in regional Irish silver. It remains in good antique condition with an attractive patina and wear consistent with its age. A delightful addition to a collection of Irish silver, Georgian flatware, or rare miniature dining pieces. Dimensions: just under 4" in length. Weight is about 4 grams.
