DESCRIPTION |
Georgian silver Queen's pattern cheese scoop of unusual design in that the scoop is a separate piece of silver to the stem. My silversmith has just tidied up this joint and there is a good old repair evident as well. |

OVERALL CONDITION |
The handle is hollow, pitch filled and this had come adrift causing some damage to the collar. Our silversmith has refilled with new pitch and so this scoop is back in sound and functional order. The collar has been tidied but the repair not completely hidden. |
MAJOR FAULTS |
Repaired and now solid. |
MINOR FAULTS |
As above plus the haft terminal has had an inwards bump and there are a couple of high points just beginning to go through. |
