[Arts & Crafts- Jewelry- C. R. Ashbee] Fabulous Guild of Handicraft Silver Spoon with Green Chrysoprase.

A Guild of Handicraft Ltd silver spoon designed by Charles Robert Ashbee (1863- 1942), English architect and designer, jeweler and publisher, who was a prime mover of the Arts and Crafts movement, which took its craft ethic from the works of John Ruskin and its co-operative structure from the socialism of William Morris. Spoon features openwork terminal set with central green chrysoprase, 13.8cm. Scarce thus. With Guild of Handicraft signed seals, G of H Ltd, and also Lion. The books and the Gaskin jewelry all belonged to a private collector who collected Arts and Crafts jewelry and was particularly fascinated with the Gaskins. He researched them and I think this led to the books being bought into the collection (and the prints and drawings also ñ he exhibited part of the collection at Court Barn in the Cotswolds.
