Hi,

An Alexander Ritchie Iona Spoon assayed at Glasgow in 1930:

The bowl is an unusual shape, any thoughts of a particular use of such a spoon?

All thoughts appreciated.

Hi,
A.Ritchie made only a few of these spoons from exact details of a medieval silver spoon excavated in the Nunnery grounds in 1923.
