Carden Terry Jane WIlliams Fork/Spoon

[Argentum]

Are these Cork Hallmarks?

Any idea of what this was used for?

Hi Argentum,

If it helps, I have seen this piece before. It was made by the partnership of Carden Terry and Jane Williams (father and daughter)(1806-1821) in Cork and then assayed at Dublin in 1813. It is a pickle fork.

Hi dognose,

Many thanks for the clarification reconciling the CT/JW Cork marks with the Dublin hallmarks. It is a fascinating history as gleaned from your post on Carden Terry and Jane Williams.

I had not seen this type of pickle fork before. Is it peculiar to Cork or is the design common to Irish silversmiths?

Hi Argentum,

I can't recall ever seeing a Dublin made one, all the examples I have seen have been from Cork.
