Caddy Spoon - Loop handle with scallop bowl - Birmingham 1877 by George Unite - 72mm long - Ref. No.: DW/1765

Sorry, this item is out of stock.

George Unite was unique in producing the distinctive loop handle caddy spoon as seen on this example. The hollow handle was applied with a vine leaf motif and attached to a variety of different bowls. In this example the bowl is in the form of one half of a scallop shell. The difficulties in adding such a handle to each bowl can be seen on this piece where the original solder to the underside of the bowl/handle join is a little untidy - this is not a repair, but was deemed satisfactory by the makers as it was hidden from view during use. This spoon is in excellent condition with a clear set of Victorian hallmarks.
