Spoon 1699

"Spoon," crafted in 1699 by Dutch silversmith Jurian Blanck Jr., is a simple yet elegant example of silver craftsmanship. The spoon's understated design features a rounded bowl and a long, slender handle with a slightly flared end. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the functional and decorative nature of silverwork during the late 17th century.
