A large, coin silver teaspoon, 6 7/8 inches, by Moses Eastman, Savannah, Georgia, showing a swaged, shell pattern on handle as well as a shell-back (where handle joins the bowl). Eastman was the successor to earlier silversmiths Marquand and Penfield, and worked for the later as a junior partner until Penfield's death in 1828, at which time Eastman continued the business alone. This spoon is likely from the 1830s when Eastman was most active as a silversmith. Fine condition.
