This is a one-date-and-maker set of hand-forged Rattail pattern sterling silver cutlery with all pieces made by George Jackson & David Fullerton of London in 1912, and it is in excellent condition.
Partners Jackson and Fullerton produced some of the heaviest and finest quality silver cutlery of the period and in most of the traditional patterns.
Rattail is the oldest of the English designs dating from the early 1700s with the distinctive rat tail on the backs of the spoon bowls and forks. This feature developed in an age when craftsmen made spoons in two pieces joining the bowl and the handle together by means of soldering using a tapered tail as additional strength to the joint. This design also features a prominent rib down the front of the handle and continues to be a popular design to the present day.
This silver cutlery set is in wonderful condition and comprises:
12 table forks
12 dessert forks
12 tablespoons
12 dessert spoons
2 sauce or gravy ladles
1 soup ladle (1910)
Since antique knives rarely survive, this cutlery set includes 12 pair of heavy-quality modern table and dessert knives, with silver handles and stainless steel blades, making them suitable for putting in the dishwasher. Choose from the complementary patterns: Rattail, Old English Spire or Old English Pip.
