The Hanoverian pattern was the standard pattern of English flatware from about 1710 until the 1770s. The crest on several of the spoons is later and done in imitation of that on the eight 1715 spoons. Up until the middle of the eighteenth century spoons and forks were placed with bowl and prong face down on the table, accounting for the crest being engraved on the back.
