The image shows two silver spoons. The spoons are placed on a plain gray surface, one above the other, both oriented with their bowls facing right. The handles of the spoons are long and have a textured surface. The handles are oval in cross-section and feature an engraved circular design near the top. The bowls of the spoons are oval and have a smooth surface. There are spots of tarnish on both spoons. Coffee Spoon by David Vinton.
