It
was customary in the Middle Ages, when travelling, to carry personal eating
utensils as well as writing materials. Most letters and documents were
sealed and it was for this purpose that spoons were often manufactured with
the owner's seal on the end of the handle. This Elizabethan Seal Top Spoon
depicts the full Tudor Rose. The spoon is 100mm long and is manufactured
from a brass stem and bowl with the top cast in pewter. The spoon is silver plated and the top darkened to highlight
the detail.
The
box has a cardboard base in a grey marble effect with aqua text. The insert is grey with the historical information on an white
label. The lid is clear PVC.
