Spoon 1765 - 1780

"Spoon," a silver spoon crafted by American silversmith Joseph Moulton between 1765 and 1780, showcases the elegance and craftsmanship of the period. The simple yet refined design, with its rounded bowl and elongated handle, exemplifies the style of the time. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to the artistic evolution of silverware in 18th-century America. The detail on the bowl of the spoon, a floral motif, adds a touch of ornamentation and reflects the refined taste of the era.
