Complete set of four Georgian sterling silver teaspoons. Each spoon carries a full set of four hallmarks, struck in sequence: the Lion Passant, confirming sterling silver purity at .925; the duty mark, bearing the head of King George III, levied as a tax on silver during this period; the date letter T, which dates this set precisely to 1814; and the maker's mark TW/JH, attributed to the partnership of Thomas Wallis Jr. and Jonathan Hayne, working together between 1810 and 1816. No city mark is present, which is entirely typical and expected for small silver pieces of this era assayed in London — smaller items were often exempted from the full mark sequence.
