Spoon 1797 - 1800

This set of three silver spoons, created by T.P. Drown between 1797 and 1800, showcases the craftsmanship of American silversmithing in the late 18th century. The spoons feature a distinctive oval bowl with a pointed tip and a simple, elegant handle. The inscription "W.K.S" on the back of the handles, which is likely a family name, further adds to the personal and historical significance of the spoons. The spoons are currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
