It was listed by Opus Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Opus Antiques has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
On the back of the handle there is further decoration and a carved date 1806. Note how the carver misjudged the space because the handle is shaped where it meets the spoon bowl so the 6 had to be carved at an angle. It measures 15cm l x 4.3cm w x 0.6cm d.
