Spoon 1777 - 1780

This silver spoon, created by American silversmith Cary Dunn between 1777 and 1780, exemplifies the craftsmanship of the late 18th century. The spoon features a simple, elegant design with a rounded bowl and a slender handle adorned with a delicate, repeating pattern. Currently residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the spoon is a testament to the artistry of American silversmithing during the Colonial period.
