Item: Runcible Spoon Description: Bead pattern Hallmark: London 1861 by Thomas Smily Dimensions: 140mm long; 30g weight Comments: A fine example of a Victorian runcible spoon in double-struck Bead pattern. The spoon benefits from having neither engravings nor erasures to the front terminal. Ideal for chutneys and pickles. The runcible spoon appears in two works by Edward Lear: The Owl & The Pussy Cat ("They dined on mince and slices of quince, which they ate with a runcible spoon") and Twenty-Six Nonsense Rhymes and Pictures ("The Dolomphious Duck, who caught Spotted Frogs for her dinner with a Runcible Spoon").
