Silver Standish Barry Teaspoon

Silver Teaspoon by Standish Barry. Weight: 0.45 troy ounces. Length: 6 inches. A single script Barry hallmark is on the underside of the handle. Normal handling and polishing wear is seen, but with natural old-time patina. There are no dents or significant marks. An elaborate monogram engraved on the top side of the handle reads "RMR."

It is believed that this spoon was crafted circa 1790, about six years after Barry began work as a silversmith, and three years after dissolving his partnership with Joseph Rice in 1787. Barry was one of two Maryland silversmiths to strike silver coinage in the years between the ending of the Revolutionary War and the establishment of the Mint at Philadelphia.
