Rare & Exceptional George III Sterling Silver Shell Spoons Set of 12 by Walter Tweedie, London c. 1773-1784

An exceptional and complete set of twelve (12) George III sterling silver teaspoons, masterfully crafted by the noted London spoon maker, Walter Tweedie. These 5.25-inch spoons feature beautifully detailed, deep-fluted shell-shaped bowls, a hallmark of the luxurious rococo-inspired dining style of the 1770s. The set is in remarkable antique condition with a substantial total weight of 180 grams, ensuring a high-quality feel and long-term durability.
The front of each handle is adorned with a crisp, original heraldic engraving of a dog crest, a classic symbol of loyalty and noble lineage that provides unique historical provenance. In keeping with the period’s standards, the spoons are correctly bottom-struck with the “W.T” maker’s mark and the lion passant sterling hallmark located near the bowl. A matched dozen from this era is a rare find for any serious silver collector, representing the peak of 18th-century British craftsmanship and domestic elegance.
