This silver "Marrow spoon" was crafted by Thomas Jackson I in 1743-44. Marrow spoons were designed to extract marrow from bones, a delicacy in the 18th century. The spoon's elongated bowl and narrow handle were specifically shaped for this purpose. This piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City and exemplifies the artistry and functionality of early American silverware.
