Includes a) four spoons by London silversmiths, Chawner & Co (George William Adams), circa 1869; b) three spoons with an illegible mark, but impressed with a fineness of 78 zolotnik, making them possibly Finnish; c) three spoons with illegible marks. Total weight: 350 g (11 troy oz). Dimensions are: 6 3/4 inches long X 1 3/8 inches wide at bowl. All measurements are approximate. Condition: With expected wear from age, but free of breaks and repairs. Provenance: These items are part of the Slade family holdings of paintings, sterling silver and Chinese porcelain (see Oakridge Auction Gallery's March 14th auction, lots. 149 to lot. 155, which was a Chinese blanc de chine Dehua figurine of a robed Bodhidharma or Damo which sold for $416,000USD). The collection was assembled by several members of the family and then by descent to the present owner. The collection was begun by Henry Adolphus Warre Slade (1869 - 1936). He was a British businessman, member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (1908/09) and the Director of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation between 1900 and 1902. The collection was added to by his sons, Royal Navy Commander Gerald Gordon Slade, who fought in both World Wars, and his brother Maurice Gordon Slade, pictured with his mother Beatrice Slade (photo not included). The Slade family hold peerage and are noted in Charles Mosley’s. “Burke's Peerage”.
