Description: | An incomplete and damaged cast copper alloy spoon of post-medieval date. The surviving part (the flattened bowl and part of the stem, which has been bent back on itself) measures 58.5mm by 45.5mm by 1.5mm and weighs 13.1g. Within the bowl adjacent to the stem there is a circular maker's mark. This is indistinct but appears to comprise at least one spoon with the legend 'DOUBLE WHITED' around. This is a reference to a former white metal coating. A number of similar maker's marks are recorded in Homer's 'Five Centuries of Base Metal Spoons' (1975, pp. 54-5) on puritan, seal top, slip top and trifid spoons. Some have additional initials which are not discernible on this example so it is not possible to use the maker's mark to speculate more precisely on the type of spoon or its date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
