Fine Set of 4 Silver Teaspoons by David Manson of Dundee and Jamaica

Offered is a fine set of four early 19th Century Scottish silver teaspoons by David Manson, who worked in Dundee between 1809 and 1818, and then in Jamaica briefly before his death there on July 2, 1821. These spoons would likely date to Manson's Dundee period, given the inclusion of the pot/vase of flowers pseudo-hallmark (the Dundee city arms) with his maker's mark on these spoons. Each spoon bears two legible strikes of Manson's maker's mark and a pot of flowers mark, and each is engraved in period Scottish style (no feathering) script with a "GAR" monogram. These spoons measure about 5 1/2 inches in length on average, and weigh a total of about 46 grams. Condition is good overall, with modest wear and small dings, but no splits or repairs. All in all a lovely example of the work of a scarce and desirable silversmith with a Jamaica connection, dating back over two centuries!
