Spoon

John Tanner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver spoon by John Tanner with a long handle and rounded bowl, slightly tarnished. The spoon is laid out horizontally with the bowl on the left side and the handle on the right. The bowl of the spoon is oval and rounded and slightly tarnished with small dark spots on the inside and outside. The bowl of the spoon has a wide rim that slopes inward toward the bowl. The handle of the spoon is long and thin with a slight swelling at the end where it meets the bowl. The end of the handle curves outward in a rounded triangular shape. The background is light gray with a slight shadow around the spoon.
