"Rare gilt sterling silver replica of the anointing spoon used for the coronation of English monarchs.  The original spoon, dating from the 12th Century, is the oldest continuously used piece in the entire English royal regalia.  The spoon is used to apply holy anointing oil onto the sovereign during his or her coronation.  This replica commemorates the coronation of Queen Victoria\u2019s son Edward VII.  Most of these spoons are in the small demitasse or teaspoon size, this is the very rare life-size replica.  Because of its size, it has wonderful details that the smaller versions just do not have.  The back of the bowl is stamped with the appropriate hallmarks for London, 1901-02, and the maker\u2019s mark \u201CJW/FCW\u201D.  The back also has a later monogram \u201CM.C.\u201D dated 1916.&lt;p&gt;Origin: London, England, 1902.  Condition: excellent, sharp detail, retains its original light lemony gilding.  Size: 10\u201D long.  Weight: 96.5 grams."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
