Visschep c. 1780

"Visschep," a small, perforated silver spoon, was created by the Dutch silversmith Adolf Verschuyl in the late 18th century. The spoon, measuring 8 cm in length and 3.1 cm in width, would have been used for serving and straining food in a domestic setting. This type of spoon, known as a "visschep" in Dutch, is an example of functional silverware common in the Netherlands during this period.
