Notes
The orange spoon is probably the most attractive type of spoon made at the Cape. The size of a teaspoon, it has a narrow, pointed, boat-shaped bowl and triangular terminal, generally engraved with floral a decoration. Derived from Dutch spoons of this shape, all the known examples are by Cape-born silversmiths active in the early 19th century.
