A triumph of American Aesthetic Movement silversmithing, this piece showcases a beautifully cast, highly detailed three-dimensional crab wrapped around a realistically modeled seaweed/rope handle. The spoon terminates in a deeply sculpted shell-form bowl. Full Gorham hallmarks are stamped on the reverse side of the stem. A rare, high-liquidity masterpiece perfect as a statement serving piece or a cornerstone for a premier silver collection. See less
