History
John Tuite was a specialist salver maker, he was apprenticed in 1703 to John Matthews, who was to become the Warden of the Dublin Goldsmiths Company (1707-1710), and worked in Dublin from 1710 to 1720. He then moved to London to continue his trade, firstly from Ireland's Yard, Blackfriars and secondly from Litchfield Street, St Ann's, Westminster. He is thought to have died in 1740 and his business was continued by his widow, Elizabeth, who entered her own mark on the 7th January 1741.
