Lepel met ovale bak en rechte steel met een ruitvormige doorsnede c. 1590 - 1596

This pewter spoon, dating from c. 1590-1596, is an example of everyday tableware from the late Renaissance. Its simple design, featuring a rounded bowl and a long, straight handle, reflects the practical needs of the time. The spoon is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the material culture of 16th-century Netherlands. The spoon’s size and shape suggest it was used for consuming soups, stews, or other liquid foods.
