Catalogue Note
A finely carved jade spoon, the bowl deeply rounded and the handle gracefully arched in the manner of traditional Asian serving spoons. The jade displays characteristic spinach-green veining with subtle grey and pale cream striations throughout, conferring an organic, stone-like quality. The polished surface shows the patina of moderate age and handling; the form is intact and functional.
Spoon Lore
