Cutlery, Porcelain Handled Spoon - Meissen - 18th Century

Elegant spoon with a painted porcelain handle, decorated with floral motifs and highlighted with gold highlights.
The spoon, in gilt metal in the rocaille style, is distinguished by its flat shape, contrary to the curvature of modern spoons.
This piece was once part of a three-piece service, also including a matching knife and fork.
A fine example of tableware, in the purest spirit of the decorative arts.

Slight signs of wear visible on the gold highlights.
