A George III dish-cross William Dempster, Edinburgh 1767 - 1768, of conventional hinged form, with central circular section with four square section supports, each with sliding pierced mount with S scroll leg to gadrooned and pierced shell feet, the upper section with curved arm and pierced and beaded shell terminal 33cm wide, 21oz Notes: while the earliest Scottish dish ring is dated Edinburgh 1693 - 1694, the dish cross under discussion does not appear within Scottish examples until 1751, and from this does not seem to become a standard of design and manufacture until mid 1760`s. After this point they appear (as with England) to become a standard on the upper classes table. Their use as with dish rings, or Irish ring dishes, is simple, to keep hot plates from damaging the surface of highly polished wooden tables. It is for this reason that while available as standard the addition of a burner was at the choice of the buyer and not necessarily issued as a standard with the piece. While it has often been debated that examples such as this are lacking burners, this would seem unlikely as such a high proportion of Scottish examples are found this way. The lack of a burner would not necessitate a change in design and when the central loop section also provides the hinging action it seems highly likely that these would be left in rather than have to re design a whole item.

An impressive early Queen Anne hash spoon by Colin McKenzie, Edinburgh 1703 - 1704, Assay Master James Penman, of transitional variant of Dog Nosed pattern with wide terminal with moulded central section, the obverse of the stem engraved `M / NM/ LD` and the reverse engraved with script initial D, the large bowl with large slender pronounced rattail 43.5cm long, 12oz Notes: This hash spoon is remarkable on many counts, not only its extraordinary size and weight but also its early manufacture and design. This is the earliest recorded hash spoon in Scotland with the next confirmed examples both dating to 1707 - 1708 (by Mungo Yorstoun and James Tait of Edinburgh), placing this the earliest by four years. Also the size and weight of the spoon is unusual with it being almost twice as heavy and a third heavier respectively than the next two recorded examples. And when considered alongside the more standard table spoons of the period (with an average weight of around 2oz) is six times heavier. This large size has also necessitated slight changes in design to allow for the proportions, firstly the moulded central point to the terminal appears to be so that the spoon balances when displayed on a table to show hallmarks (as fashion of the period dictated) and secondly the long and muscular nature of the rattail to support the large deep bowl. Although the date letter struck to this piece is very worn, there can be little doubt to the attribution. From the remaining outline of the punch it is obviously a shaped cartouche and not a straight sided punch, this combined with the clear Assay Masters mark of James Penman must place it to 1704 or earlier, as his tenure as Assay Master ends in 1707, and straight sided date letter punches are started in 1705.
