Title
Post-medieval spoon bowl
Description
English: A post-medieval cast copper-alloy (latten) spoon bowl, detached from the stem following old damage. The bowl is sub-oval with a wider, more squared off end near the stem (the shoulders) and fairly straight sides. There is a maker's mark of I spoon R?, punched on the front of the bowl near the stem. This latter has been broken at its junction with the bowl. There are extensive traces of a white metal coating on the bowl's interior.

The bowl shape is consistent with a latten trifid spoon in latten dated c. 1680 by Homer (1975, 46; ref. f), thought it is similar to the slightly earlier puritan form. Though unclear on this piece, a maker's mark of 'I R (with spoon)', is documented in Butler (2001, 49; ref. 92) with a slightly different rendering on a mid-17th century seal top spoon.
