Thanks very much, Bronwen. Got it in one. I think the ladle bit threw me. Now I look again, they're everywhere in one guise or another.
Might someone know something about the origins of this spoon? 17 cm top to bottom. Not sure of the metal - dull silver colour at present. It's...
I guess you can only tell by any information on the card or by the subject and how it is depicted. The German ones were very good. Many of my...
