Georgian Sterling Silver Sugar Sifter Spoon with Heraldic Sea-Lion Crest – London 1785

Why we chose it:

This remarkable Georgian sugar sifter immediately stood out for both its rarity and its beautifully engraved heraldic crest. The terminal is engraved with a mythical Sea-Lion — a powerful heraldic creature symbolising courage, guardianship and noble lineage — and we love how this sits so confidently within the elegant late-18th-century form of the spoon. The finely pierced bowl and slender tapering handle give it that unmistakable Georgian refinement, while the rare incuse hallmark and London maker anchor it firmly in its historic period. It’s exactly the kind of character-filled, story-rich silver we love to offer.
