Spoon

John Edwards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Spoon by John Edwards shows a silver spoon with an oval bowl and a long handle. The bowl is positioned on the left side; it has a slightly raised edge. The handle starts narrow where it meets the bowl then widens and curves slightly. The handle's end is wider and rounded. The spoon appears to be made of silver and has some dark spots and discoloration, particularly on the edges and handle end. The background is light gray.
