Comments

The spoon has a long bowl with a tapered end.  The decoration on the handle incorporates two roses and beaded borders.  The pattern is unidentified.

Although catalogued among Mary Warner’s extensive collection of souvenir spoons, this spoon was not created as a souvenir.  Instead, it likely accompanied a set of flatware.  Its manufacturing origin is unknown.
