Another dessert spoon?

Postby greyowl » Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:10 pm

Please identify this spoon; I can't make sense of the markings. Is it British? From where and how old? It has a kind of dragon and crown on the top. What would be the correct description of this spoon?

Hi,

Your spoon is Irish, assayed at Dublin in 1820. The maker is John Egan and it was retailed by Matthew West. The pattern is 'Hourglass'.

The engraving on the front would be the family crest of a former owner of the piece.
