Author	Topic: JM mark on picture back spoon
ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 07-05-2017 05:39 PM Above are bright cut picture back spoons with a very faint urn still on the back of the bowls. It is beyond my skills to capture an image of the urns. The mark is a pretty clear JM and it would be nice if that stood for one of the Joseph Moulton's, but none of my books show them using a mark like this. Any ideas as to the maker? IP: Logged

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 07-05-2017 09:33 PM Thanks WEV. I belatedly looked in Ms. Hollan's book and she has a nice writeup in John Murdock. He did other picture back spoons including two dove designs and basket of flowers designs. We can add to that now that he did an urn design. IP: Logged
