Teaspoon c. 1805 - 1815

This silver teaspoon, crafted by Issac Hutton around 1805-1815, is an example of early American silversmithing. Its simple, elegant design and delicate proportions reflect the refined taste of the period. The spoon's handle, with its engraved inscription, suggests a personalized gift or heirloom. Now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, the piece offers a glimpse into the daily lives and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
