An Albert Edward Jones, Birmingham 1971, Planished Silver Reproduction Roman Spoon

Manufacturer - Albert Edward Jones, Birmingham

Date - 197`

Description - An interesting planished silver reproduction Roman spoon, modelled after the classic forms found throughout Europe during the Roman period. These spoons are instantly recognisable by their distinctive goose‑neck design, a practical shape that allowed Roman soldiers to extract meat from shellfish and crustaceans with ease.
Such spoons were commonly used during the Roman occupation of Britain, and original examples were often crafted in sterling silver, reflecting both their utility and the high level of craftsmanship of the era. This reproduction captures that historical character beautifully.
The bowl bears an engraved ‘X’, with a ‘P’ above and an ‘I’ below, adding an intriguing personal or symbolic touch to the piece.
