Spoon (probably France)
This is a spoon. It is dated ca. 1750 and we acquired it in 1985. Its medium is ivory. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The case is carved in a sophisticated Rococo style, and the ivory with flowers reflects the period's enthusiasm, more often visible in porcelain, for botany ("Feeding Desire: Design and the Tools of the Table, 1500 - 2005," May - August 13, 2006).
Set 1985-103-193/196.
