These are bright cut tongs. The bowls are again large with a lovely wavy line prick dot pattern on them. The maker's mark has a pellet between the letters. Although the hallmark is a little blurred, it can be seen that it is the early part of 1804 as the duty mark is not clipped. These tongs must therefore date between 29th May and 10th October 1804.
