Interesting set of 3 sterling silver soup spoons, interesting as they have converted from other spoons or forks as in the bowls do not belong to the rest, round soup bowls were not introduced until approx c.1900.
I can only imagine someone had a Georgian canteen of cutlery and wanted the soup spoons to have been round , so probably at some stage in the 20th century these were altered.
These 3 are hallmarked from London in 1822 with the makers mark being that of George Piercy
Very well done but on close inspection you will see the join.
They each measure 182mm in length and 57mm across the bowl.
