Spoon 1671 - 1672

"Spoon" is a silver spoon created by Robert King in 1671-72, currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The spoon is an example of 17th-century English silverware, showcasing the craftsmanship and design of the period. The piece features a simple, elegant form with a rounded bowl and a handle ending in a distinctive, slightly flared terminal. The spoon's small size and delicate construction suggest it may have been intended for personal use, perhaps as a dessert spoon or for taking tea.
