This spoon commemorates the coronation of Edward VII in 1901.
It measures 8 inches ( 20.3 cm.) in length.

What famous designer and British firm produced this spoon ?
What was the name of the line this piece is from ?

Looks like Archibald Knox's Cymric for Liberty.

Hi Cheryl.

Very well done. Yes, this spoon is from the Cymric line of Liberty & Company and was designed by Archibald Knox.

Here's another example of Cymric silver in the form of a tankard.

Merry Christmas,

Heh, easy one for me, have a weakness for both the sterling Cymric and pewter Tudric lines, British Arts & Crafts in general- furniture, textiles etc., has appealed to me since my teen years.
