trefid terminal pin pricked  verso *L* over *I*S* with further stars above and below

 

Condition: Very good; some wear to bowl center verso; maker and date mark only;

marks slightly weak

 

Nathaniel Brassey, citizen of Haberdasher, was the master for both well known spoonmakers

Thomas Tysoe and Samuel Hitchcock.

See London Silver Spoonmakers 1500-1697, Timothy Kent, p. 49 for discussion

 

Lace-back trefids are much rarer than plain trefids – the earliest of the modern form. 

The earliest trefid recorded is in 1662,

becoming more common in the 1670’s, and were made only until c1700.
