Spoon 1700 - 1800

Ebenezer Chittenden's "Spoon" (1700-1800) is a simple yet elegant piece of silverware, demonstrating the craftsmanship of the American silversmith. The spoon, made of silver, features a rounded bowl and a gently curved handle that ends in a delicate, rounded tip. This spoon, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the refined taste and attention to detail present in 18th-century American silverware.
