This unusual spoon is modelled to simulate a large leaf with high wavy sides.  The heart shaped bowl is engraved with unusual plain wavy bands and ovals on a scratch engraved ground.  The spoon is fully marked on the exterior side of the bowl and this example has a twisted loop handle.  This is a particularly rare design and a similar example can be seen on Plate 59 of "Caddy Spoons" by Captain John Norie.
