Olive spoon 1756

This 18th-century silver olive spoon, crafted by J.G. in 1756, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the period. The delicate, pierced design on the bowl, reminiscent of intricate vine patterns, was a popular motif in silverware during the Rococo era. The elongated handle, ending in an elegant shell-shaped terminal, adds to the spoon's overall grace. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offers a glimpse into the refined dining practices of the 18th century.
