"Olive Spoon, Silver, Coat Of Arms, Paris 1779"

So-called olive spoon in silver fillet model by the master goldsmith Nicolas Gonthier, Paris 1779-1780. Nicolas Gonthier was received as a master goldsmith in Paris on December 17, 1768. The spoon is very well marked. The spatula is engraved with the alliance coat of arms under a Count's crown. The pierce is very fine. Weight 128g - length 30.2 cm Condition, very good. The so-called olive spoons are present in all generalities, including those far removed from olive trees. In my opinion, their function was skimming spoons.
