Spoons, 16th century, (1843). Artist: Henry Shaw

Spoons, 16th century, (1843). The larger, made of silver gilt, is made of three parts. The handle is a fork, the prongs of which fit into the back of the bowl, the end of the fork unscrews and when taken off, provides a toothpick. It can be folded up to occupy less room. Illustration from Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to the Seventeenth Centuries, by Henry Shaw, (London, 1843)

Cutlery Folding Fork Henry Henry Shaw Shaw Spoon Collapsible Toothpick


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cutlery from the 16th century. Created by artist Henry Shaw in 1843, this image features two spoons that offer a glimpse into the intricate craftsmanship of the past. The larger spoon, made of silver gilt, is an exquisite three-part creation. Its handle cleverly doubles as a fork, with prongs that fit snugly into the back of the bowl. But there's more to discover - at the end of the fork lies a hidden surprise: it unscrews to reveal a toothpick! This ingenious design not only saves space but also adds versatility to this already elegant utensil. Shaw's illustration comes from his renowned work "Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to Seventeenth Centuries" providing us with valuable insights into historical artifacts like these spoons. The monochrome aesthetic enhances our appreciation for their intricate details and timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, marveling at how even everyday objects were crafted with such care and ingenuity centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that artistry can be found in unexpected places – even within something as humble as cutlery.
