This is an excellent fish serving utensil made by William Knight of London in 1822, made of solid Sterling (.925) Silver and is approx. 12" long, weighing in at 5.40oz. The Utensil features a crest on the top of the handle, which seems to be a spurred knight's greave, standing on the ground. Whether this crest signifies a specific family, establishment, or business, I unfortunately do not know. The serving part of the utensil features a cut-out floral motif with engraving around it. The back features the 5 hallmarks, from the top down being: The maker's mark, the silver purity mark, the city mark, the date code, and the duty stamp.

This piece is in excellent condition for being over 200 years old. It has a wonderful natural silver patina which fades from dark blacks/browns to reds and yellows. There are a number of light scratches and scuff marks throughout the utensil, all of which could be buffed and polished out, if desired. The same goes for the patina: this piece could easily shine bright with some minor elbow grease if you wished to restore the original finish. See photos for more details.

Sold as-is! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to request more photos. Thanks.
