An Edward VII caddyspoon impressed with the Royal Arms of Scotland and thistles on the stem and Balmoral in the bowl, by William Robb of Ballater hallmarked in Edinburgh in 1905 . William Robb established his business in Ballater around 1880 (due in good part to the local patronage of the Royal family from their home at Balmoral).

A William I caddy spoon with trifurcated handle made in Schoonhoven in 1843, engraved L. Alma-Tadema Price: Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912) was a painter born in Dronryp in the Netherlands to Pieter Jiltes Tadema, a notary, and received the name Alma from his godfather. In his youth Lawrence was diagnosed as a consumptive and allowed to spend time drawing- however his health improved and he went on to train at the Royal Academy of Antwerp between 1852 and 1855. While in Antwerp Alma-Tadema served as an assistant to the painter and professor Louis Jan De Taye. Alma-Tadema went on to have studios in Leeuwarden (1858) and Antwerp where he began working with the painter Baron Jan August Hendrik Leys whose studio was one of the most highly regarded in Belgium. Under his guidance Alma-Tadema painted his first major work: The Education of the Children of Clovis (1861). This painting created a sensation among critics and artists when it was exhibited that year at the Artistic Congress in Antwerp. It is said to have laid the foundation of his fame and reputation. In 1870 the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war encouraged Alma-Tadema to move to London, following a visit in 1869. In London Alma-Tadema became one of the most famous and highly paid artists of his time, acknowledged and rewarded. By 1871 he had met and befriended most of the major pre-Raphaelite painters. In 1873 he was the last person to be made a British Citizen by the 13th century process of Denization. Although Alma-Tadema's style fell out of fashion in the early 20th century it saw a resurgence in the mid 20th century and in 2006 The Tepidarium painted in 1881 and now in the collection of the Lady Lever Art Gallery at Port Sunlight, was included in 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die. Provenance: J. D. Norie (this spoon formed lot 201 of Part I of the collection sold at Woolley and Wallis on 20th April 2004).

An Elizabeth II caddyspoon assayed in London in 1978 by Graham Watling of Lacock (Wiltshire). Price: £275.00 Graham Watling (1930-1996) studied at Loughborough College of Art after his National Service. Following his graduation he became a teacher and by 1969 was Head of the Art and Craft department at the newly formed Melksham Comprehensive School in Wiltshire. In addition to his teaching Graham had registered his maker's mark with London Assay Office in 1959. He exhibited at most of the major crafts exhibitions- the Craft Council of Great Britain, London Craft Centre as well as the World Fairs in Montreal (1967) and Tokyo (1969). In 1969 Graham had his first sight of the picturesque village of Lacock, near his new school, and made many attempts to move there (by application to the National Trust). In 1972, having secured the tenancy of a property in Lacock Graham retired from formal teaching and set up his workshop. In 1977 they purchased a property in Lacock and the business went from strength to strength. Following Graham's death in 1996 his wife and son have continued the business from the same premises. One of Graham's characteristic designs is a textured surface or bark effect- in evidence on this caddyspoon.
