A fine and RARE set of eleven IRISH three-pronged sterling silver dessert forks by Michael Hewitson of Dublin circa 1725-1750

This fine and rare set of eleven mid-size silver forks show only minimal wear. The tines are all at the same length with even points and appear to have been used very infrequently, if at all. Each fork has a complete set of three hallmarks, one denoting Dublin, another denoting Ireland and the last denoting the maker 'M H' which I attribute to Michael Hewitson. They are each approximately 7" long. Each also has a crest depicting a bird wearing a small crown on its' head.
