Sorry, this item is out of stock.

A truly sumptuous spoon by the finest caddy spoon maker of the Victorian period. This is one of the most highly cherished forms of caddy spoon and it is a fine example of its type. The bowl is cleverly modelled as a deep bowled mussel shell and is attached to a gilt handle with lily pad tendrils.

The spoon is as good as the photos suggest and would be a wonderful addition to any collection.
