Wales Association of Pewter Workers Silver Plated Commemorative Spoon - Warwick Castle!

Individuals have enjoyed visiting the castle since the end of the 17th Century and the number grew in importance through the 19th Century. Eventually the visitors grew to the point that they were becoming a nuisance resulting in the 4th Earl closing the castle to visitors in 1885. This caused consternation in the town due to the loss of tourist trade and eventually the re-opened with the formality of a ticket office and a permanent guide. Through the 20th Century successive Earls expanded its tourism until 1978 when after 374 years in the Greville Family it was sold to a media and entertainment company, the Tussauds Groupe who promoted specifically as a tourist attraction.

Based on the Estate I would believe the Spoon to Be from the early 1900's. The Crown at the top of the spoon does have significance as the castle was in "Crown Care" from 1478 until 1547 with the second creation of the title of the Earl of Warwick. Queen Elizabeth I visited the castle in 1566 and again in 1572. A special timber building was erected in the castle for her to stay in. In 1858 Queen Victoria visited the 4th Earl with great local celebrations.

This wonderful approximate 4" long was created by the Wales Association of Pewter Workers and is silver plated.

The spoon is in very good condition. Super size the listing images to view the condition in greater detail!
