An Antique Silverplate Spooner

Unknown manufacturer, late 19th century, the bowl with domed cover and removable liner (the liner likely a later addition), and (6) spoons.

7 1/2 in.

These useful vessels were most commonly produced in the silverplate in the second half of the 19th century. They were used to serve sugar or jams during a tea, with the individual spoons allowing for each guest to serve themselves.

Wear to plating.
