Spoon 1770 - 1800

This silver spoon, crafted by Ebenezer Moulton in the late 18th century, showcases the craftsmanship of the American silversmithing tradition. The delicate engraving on the handle, featuring a floral motif and the inscription "E.M.," adds a touch of elegance to the simple yet functional design. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the everyday life and decorative sensibilities of the time period.
