Notes

These silver spoons were produced by Marchand van Tonder, a contemporary South African jeweller and designer. While van Tonder is primarily recognised for his contemporary jewellery, he also produces unique silverware, blending traditional silversmithing techniques with contemporary design. These spoons reflect his dedication to material and form and his dynamic practice that spans both functional objects and wearable art.
