Description: | A heavily tinned copper alloy apothecary or salt spoon, dating to the post-medieval period. The spoon is incomplete consisting of the round bowl and part of the integrally cast circular-sectioned handle. The bowl of the spoon is circular and measures 22.86mm diameter. It has an outer lip resulting in a small step internally. The reverse of the bowl has two linear mouldings either side of the integral handle's 'rat-tail' moulding. The spoon is mostly silver or a shiny grey in colour and this is probably due to the high tin content of the alloy although the spoon may have been coated too. This style of spoon dates to the post-medieval period, likely to have been in use during the 18th and 19th centuries.
