Introduction

Here we are again heading quickly towards one of my favourite times of the year, the Christmas lights are up around the shop and sparkling garlands festoon Cecil Court, its all looking very Christmassy. But I am also looking forward to closing the shop door at 4pm on Christmas Eve and having a couple of days off, sitting back, relaxing and not thinking about getting The Final to the printers! This does bring me on to ‘The First Tuesday’ meetings, which this time falls on New Year’s Day. I have had a number of phone calls asking whether I am going to be open and whether the meeting is to go ahead. Well, bearing in mind I probably will not get home until about 3.30am that morning at the earliest (London will be busy), so I hope you understand I will be taking another day off and tragically therefore no First Tuesday meeting. But there is good news, the next 1st Tuesday that falls on a New Year’s Day is not until 2030! And on that note, I wish you all a Very Happy Christmas and look forward to seeing and hearing from you all next year. Daniel.

Daniel Hockly: The Adventures of a Silversmith Abroad

By Jamie Brener

Recently in Portobello road a dealer I know presented to me a poorly made silver spoon with strange marks. Interested and out of pure curiosity I bought the spoon only to discover that it was made by Daniel Hockly, working in the Eastern Cape of South Africa after moving there from London.

http://www.bexfield.co.uk/thefinial/indi/29-02.htm

The 1820 Settlers were people encouraged by the British government to go to the Cape Colony and set up English speaking communities in the Eastern Cape. So, Hockly, his pregnant wife and three children set sail for South Africa from Gravesend on the 3rd

December 1819. The voyage was

painful and eventful for the Hocklys. First, Elizabeth Hockly gave birth to Francis Chapman Hockly at sea. It is interesting to note that his middle name is the name of the ship he was born upon. However, tragedy struck the family when an outbreak of whooping cough struck the ship and killed their five-year-old son Daniel.

Approx. 2.00pm

A Rare Victorian silver “Castletop” card case depicting a relief view of Victoria College, Jersey. By Aston & Sons, Birmingham 1860. Estimate £700-900

(This case was probably made to coincide with the College’s official opening by Queen Victoria in 1859)

“Just a word or two to describe the Library – it has been collected over nearly a 60-year period and there are approximately 3.5 tons of books covering all aspects of silver & marks & styles and covering most

of the countries in the world that produced silver. Also including Church & College plate and more or less every specialist area under the silver ‘umbrella’. It is a very comprehensive library

The Elusive ‘S.M.’ Sponsor Mark On Japanese Silver

Now Identified And A Review Of Their Spoons Produced For Liberty’s Store

By Simon Moore

Just after I had received the news about the ‘F.H’ mark (The Finial, Jul/Aug ’18, pages 4 & 5), Adrien von Ferscht (an academic researcher into Chinese Qing Dynasty silver at Beijing Normal University and at Tsinghua University, Beijing) recently completed an in-depth research project into the ‘S.M.’ sponsor mark, stamped on Japanese Meiji silver, some for the export market. Adrien’s thought was that this work could be from a Chinese silversmith working in Yokohama from the 1890s. This was partly based on some hallmarks that I had shown him (via photo) sometime before but the enquiry coincided with his carrying out further research to write a definitive paper to identify this elusive maker. Before this, my routes of enquiry had led up many blind alleys and concluding that the records might have been destroyed in 1945 since the main archive was based at Hiroshima. Von Ferscht’s article outlines the history of Japan during the Meiji period that led to Yokohama becoming a ‘treaty’ port in 1859 and home to an ongoing centre for fine and export silversmithing among many other traditional Japanese crafts. One of the main traders and manufacturers in Japanese export silver was founded c.1860 by Ozeki Yahei who was keen to feed the desire for Japonisme in Europe and especially Great Britain. Yahei’s son, Ozeki Sadajiro managed the Yokohama business and opened a store naming it Musashiya at 66 Honcho-dori (Main Street). He was fired with much enthusiasm and commissioned the finest artisans in silversmithing that he could find to work for Musashiya, resulting in some most exquisite items. By the 1880s, Yokohama’s permanent population was overwhelmingly Chinese, some of whom were artisan silversmiths. Many of Musashiya’s spoons are generally unknown in European collector circles, apart from a range that was commissioned by Liberty’s following the visit to Japan by Arthur Liberty in 1889. The success of his store’s business in retailing, largely textiles to a clientele that enjoyed the tastes of period aestheticism and naturalism. Liberty commissioned the store’s first line of silverwares – some from India, later Norway but mainly from Japan. Most of the Japanese wares were imported in 1892 to 1893. To conform to British hallmarking, these had to be submitted for assay at the London Office before they could be retailed by Liberty’s store. Arthur Liberty only just managed to get his store’s sponsor mark registered at Goldsmiths’ Hall before the store exhibited (and started to sell) these Japanese spoons and silverware, dating mainly from 1893 to 1894. As always, the spoons from Musashiya were exquisitely and cunningly made with full attention to biological accuracy. Looking through Liberty catalogues from this time reveals a range of small silver items, including spoons that must have greatly appealed to Liberty’s clientele. These were marked with London hallmarks, the ‘F’ for foreign-import mark, slightly confusing with the ‘S’ or ‘T’ date letters and the ‘LY& Co’ sponsor mark for Liberty’s. Separate from these was the ‘S.M.’ mark in a square cartouche and which von Ferscht (2018) has identified as standing for Sadajiro Musashiya.

Continued overleaf… .7.

From the Liberty catalogue of 1892 and most likely the first mention of silver. It shows two of the ‘S.M.’ spoons priced at 8 shillings and 6 pence (a modest 42.5 pence by direct conversion but about £45 in today’s money). The catalogue also demonstrates Liberty’s caution in only showing two spoons, to see whether this venture was going to work. (Right) A pair of spoons with wirework and berry finials as per the catalogue illustration, the bowls are more simplistic and standardised. The Japanese spoon bowls are largely modelled from flower inflorescences, shaped and engraved like those of many other Japanese manufacturers at this time, notably the Sakai silversmiths. Musashiya produced a range of more commercial sets for Liberty’s to be sold for one guinea per set. What sets the Musashiya spoons apart is the making of the stems and this is immediately apparent in the more organic/textured stems of the spoons of superior quality to say nothing of the price in the Liberty’s catalogue. The straight stems with traditional Japanese motifs for the figural finials typify the more commercial grade of spoons.

From a Liberty catalogue in 1892. The individual spoons could also be purchased for 3/6d and 6/6d each respectively.

There were eight mixed Japanese sets advertised in this catalogue as well as preserve spoons and salt cellars.

Period Liberty catalogues enthused over their new wares: “Messrs LIBERTY are constantly receiving direct from Japan new modelling in Silver Work the designs and artistic workmanship of which are characteristic of Japanese skill in combining beauty with quaintness and perfection of finish. This novel and charming Silver Work is very suitable for Wedding and Birthday Presents and Yule Tide Gifts”. Musashiya also produced single spoons in the botanical style, the detailing and workmanship of these, as always, is exceptional. The chrysanthemum has always been an important flower in Japan and was chosen to be the crest or Mon of the Imperial Household. The ‘flower spoons’ also have branching twig-like extensions to support the underside of the bowl, slightly inaccurate botanically but showing a sensitive solution to practicality combined with aesthetic appeal that Liberty’s store engendered.

Chrysanthemum spoon of naturalistic form, made by Musashiya

likely to have been part of the one guinea per spoon range (boxed) from the 1892 Liberty’s catalogue.

Another naturalistic spoon by Sadajiro (of) Musashiya, 1893 for Liberty’s

with hydrangea flowers centred with gold pique work in the bowl.

The influence from this period of Japanese silver-making had a long lasting influence in Britain, especially for Christopher Dresser when he visited Japan in 1876 on behalf of the South Kensington Museum, as the V&A Museum was then known. The trend for Japanese taste revisits our Western fashions repeatedly and the trend seems to be reaching out to us once again. As always, Oscar Wilde had the last word: “Liberty is the chosen resort of the artistic shopper”. Reference Von Ferscht, A. 2018. In Chinese Export Silver 1685-1940: the Yokohama Conundrum.

Feedback

David McKinley writes: Having read Luke Delmas’s piece in the Sep/Oct 2018 issue of The Finial (page 12), I thought he might like to know that the mark on his spoon is rare and sought after. Until the year 1781 spoons and forks were bottom marked using hand held single punches and this practice was adopted at the beginning of the 1781 marking year on 29th May. As Tony Dove has pointed out, top marking started on 1st November of that year by which time marking by means of the fly press had already been introduced, as is shown on Luke’s spoon. Thus some timr between 29th May and 1st November press marks started to appear on bottom marked flatware. It is not known exactly when but it could only have been for a month or two and therefore such marking is rare.

Bill Young queries: Something about Dingwall, the ‘sun in splendour’, in particular the ‘bird in flight’ mark has bothered me for sometime after reading the two articles on Dingwall. It has just struck me, the bird in flight is on the clan badge of the Munro’s! They are numerous around Easter Ross; probably Ross’s wife or mother was a Munro. That on my part, is a sheer utter guess.

Richard Stagg comments: Michael Baggott is to be congratulated on identifying John Malton II as another York silversmith (The Finial, Sep/Oct ’18, pages 10 & 11).

I have another very similarly styled though rather plainer pair of tongs, which are by Richard Clark and, I think, bear the same lion. But where has this design come from?

Michael thinks it is a Hampston & Prince one but I wonder if it is in perhaps a design that originated from John Malton I who was after all the ‘master’ to both his son and, a few years earlier, to Richard Clark.

Obituary – Terry Atkins

By Anthony Dove F.S.A. Terry, as well as being a Finial member for many years, was also an enthusiastic supporter of the Silver Study Group run by the late Myrtle Ellis. He and his wife Anita were regular attendees at Myrtle’s visits and especially the weekends held across the country. He always expressed great interest in any items brought up for examination. His position (before retirement) as curator of the gold and silver plate at the Corporation of Lloyds’ was especially useful as he was able to arrange ‘handling sessions’ of this unique collection both for the group and privately for me. One item of special interest in this collection was the gold fork made for Lord Nelson after he lost his arm at the battle of the Nile in 1797. This was specially made (not a conversion). I was naturally hoping to see an example of English double duty on this. But ironically it turns out to be of French manufacture. Terry will be missed by those who knew him through the Silver Study Group and the Silver Spoon club.
