Description - An interesting, large and heavy silver reproduction Roman spoon, modelled after the classic forms found throughout Europe during the Roman period.

Such spoons were widely used during the Roman occupation of Britain, and original examples were often crafted in sterling silver, reflecting both their everyday utility and the high level of craftsmanship associated with Roman tableware. This substantial reproduction captures that historical character with impressive presence and weight.
