The Spoon is modelled in the Trefid style with a rat tail on the reverse of the bowl. The stem rises to a pronounced trefoil end which is engraved with a set of contemporary initials surrounded by prick dot decoration, most probably stylised flower heads. The stem displays a very crisp set of marks and the spoon has a very good colour. The bowl is in excellent condition, with a thick tip, and the stem is of a quite exceptional gauge, especially at the bottom.



Length: 7.8 inches, 19.5cm.
