Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy (latten) slip top spoon. The spoon has an oval bowl and a rectangular cross-sectioned handle which widens towards the top. Below the handle on the inside of the bowl is a touch mark which may read IW. The object has a mottled reddish-green patina and is corroded in places. It can be dated c. AD 1600-1680.Unlike goldsmiths (who worked in silver and gold), little is known about the marks of spoonmakers who worked in pewter and brass and it is not possible to identify the maker's mark on this example.
