This unusual spoon is modelled to simulate a large leaf with high wavy sides. The heart shaped bowl is engraved with unusual plain prick dot designs to simulate the veins of the leaf. The spoon is fully marked on the exterior side of the bowl and this example has a twisted loop handle. This is a particularly rare design and a similar example can be seen on Plate 59 of "Caddy Spoons" by Captain John Norie.
Length: 3.4 inches, 8.5 cm.
