A rare English serving spoon in the Art Nouveau style, featuring sweeping botanical reliefs of acanthus and curling leaves. The bowl is deep and wide, ideal for generous helpings of vegetables, puddings, or compotes. The ornate handle is weighty, elegantly curved, and ends in a stylised finial reminiscent of Tudor foliage.
This is the kind of piece you might find laid out for breakfast in a Somerset country house, nestled beside a blue-patterned bowl of stewed gooseberries and cream.
Silver plated (A1), marked on the handle.
