This is a section of a spoon handle, crafted by French silversmith Jean-Joseph Gravelle in 1776. The handle is marked with the silversmith's hallmark, which includes a stylized "J.J.G." and the date. It’s a small detail, but it demonstrates the artistry and craftsmanship of silverwork in the 18th century, and now resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
