The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two silver spoons. The top spoon has an oval bowl and a long handle with a slight curve at the end. The handle of the top spoon has a slight rounded rectangular shape where it meets the bowl. The top spoon has an engraving on the right side of the handle near the bowl. The bottom spoon has a smaller oval bowl and a longer, thinner handle with a more pronounced curve. The bottom spoon has three small dots on the handle near the bowl. The background of the image is light gray. A small white rectangular label is at the bottom center of the image with handwritten text. The spoons are likely a tea spoon, as per the title "Tea Spoon by Rufus Farnam".
