Very much a period table piece, this 8 1/4" long, 1.5 T. oz., spoon has a rounded end with a tipt backside, and an exposed drop on the bowl.

The handle front is diamond cut and wriggle work engraved, and has a block letter "E S" monogram, in a manner that bespeaks its age.

The handle reverse is fully hallmarked with a castle assay mark for Exeter, England, 1799-1800 date letter (George III), duty bust, lion for sterling silver, and "RJ" for silversmith Richard Jenkins (d. 1807).

The bowl is relatively large, 3" long, and especially broad at 1 7/8" at the widest.

In very good condition, the engraving remains clear and well-defined. The bowl is without dents, splits, or bends, but does show very slight tip wear and light surface scratches. The finish has a warm patina.
