Rare Georgian Silver Caddy Spoon by Henry Day London 1821

This is a very elegant Georgian silver caddy spoon with engravings of flowers and foliage. It was made by the Henry Day in 1821. He first worked for his father, George Day, before entering his first mark as a gold worker and spoon maker in 1817. Although he was a gifted and appreciated silversmith his career was quite short, lasting until 1822. As such, it may well be that the spoon on sale is very rare. The silver caddy spoon presents 'hh' for Henry Day, the Lion passant, the London assay mark, and date letter “f” for 1821.
