Silver Olive Spoon - Lorient
Large olive spoon made of solid silver. The long, plain handle, which flares slightly, ends in a rounded spatula.
The oval bowl is outlined along its rim by a double molded fillet, which does not extend onto the handle. It features a delicate pierced and engraved design: a regular central pattern of quatrefoils and navettes, surrounded by vine branches, leaves, and grape clusters. A large stylized palmette adorns its upper end. A solid oval medallion accentuates the base of the spoon head
