Can anyone ID the marks on this serving spoon?

JR & S = John Round & Sons, Sheffield, England, UK

Hello

Welcome to the Forum.

Maybe you would be a little bit disappointed - but that is normal by silver novices.

Your server spoon isn't Sterling, but Electro Plated (significated by the fare most right side punch of letters EP).

In steps now:

JR = John Round
& = &
S = Sons
(Fourth mark I couldn't clearly identify = I couldn't interpret.)
A = Quality of plating processing (A1 or AI is most times their best quality. But on plated items of Continental Europe this "Best quality" is, at least only "Second Quality" or "Third Quality".)
EP = Electro Plated (EPNS = Electro Plated on Nickel Silver)

So, maybe the basic material of the spoon could be a low grade of "Nickel Silver"; or, if not indicated, often "brass" only.

Kind regards silverport

Ripe wild Strawberry’s you could maybe find now there fore?

Hello

That would be fine!

Make a trip to a natural forest, hear the birds; and maybe you would already smell in the air there the ripe wild strawberries.

Don't sugar the strawberry - otherwise you wouldn't taste their natural aromas.

I'm sure; you would compose a fine and very tasty one.

Yes, you would be a lucky composer.

Kind regards silverport
