This interesting berry spoon appears to be a Georgian example at first glance, with a probable Victorian ‘beautification’ to the bowl – not uncommon. However, the hallmarks are unusual, showing an Exeter mark with a maker – Jason Holt – that is not consistent with the date letter. Holt finished in 1784, this spoon was made 1794. It is probable the entire spoon is a late Victorian mock-up of a desirable earlier Georgian piece.
