Description: | Incomplete copper alloy spoon with the bowl and part of the stem remaining. The oval bowl has a projecting shoulder so that the stem is stepped where it meets the bowl edge. The remains of the stem is only 20 mm long and 5 mm wide and triangular in section at the broken edge. The stem is stepped or broadened as it meets the bowl and on the back of the bowl, the rat tail extends to a point and is 13 mm long and 4 mm wide. There appears to be no maker's stamp inside the spoon bowl but the object has suffered from corrosion so that it is quite pitted. The style of stem suggests that the spoon is 18th century in date, as it is similar to copper alloy circular ladels and spoons of the Georgian period.
