Following the death of his partner Thomas De Gruchy in 1846, John Le Gallais continued with the business alone. He was likely to be the last of the Jersey spoonmakers, but many of the spoons that he sold were the work of English silversmiths with a 'JLG' overstriking that of the original maker. John Le Gallais was in business until 1873. The business was continued by H. Hollinshed. This teaspoon bears his personal stamps for the pieces made in his workshop. It has good bright-cut decoration and is monogrammed 'AEN'. It is in good condition.
Stamped 'JLG', crown, 'J'.
It measures just over 13cm long and weighs 12 grams.
