This silver spoon, crafted by the Handicraft Guild of Minneapolis between 1905 and 1918, is a beautiful example of Arts and Crafts style. The spoon's handle features a geometric design with a cutout, while the bowl is hammered, creating a textured surface. This spoon is currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection and exemplifies the craftsmanship and aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement in the early 20th century.
Comments
The anonymous artist of the Handicraft Guild—likely a woman—used bold form and visible hammer marks to emphasize material and process when creating this spoon. The guild, an egalitarian organization housed in its own building in downtown Minneapolis, provided design and craft training and instruction. Most objects made by its members were marked only with “HG.” This spoon would have been sold in the guild shop alongside handmade metalwork, ceramics, leather, jewelry, and hand-bound books.
