Don Porritt - Soup Spoon and Dessert Spoon
Spoons
Detail: Dessert Spoon Handle

'2000' dessert spoon: 18 cm handle with deep cut and parcel gilt rib detailing running the full length of the parallel sided handle. When the handle is viewed from the bowl end (and at a shallow angle) the elongated ribs are revealed as the numerals forming the 2000 motif.
[See photo detail]

Soup spoon: a bright polished fluted top element is separated from the satin finished bevelled stem by a deep cut, parcel gilt, profile line. A parcel gilt contour line swings down in a long arc, springing from the edge of the fluting and terminating on the centre line where the handle begins to merge with the neck of the spoon.
Size: 18 cm
