Set of 12 dessert spoons by John Vernon, NYC, c1790

Oval-end handle, pointed drop on bowl back, reverse tipt, ornate feathered script A P in brightcut-and-roulette cartouche, brightcutting extending down handle (see pic). Length ranges from 6-7/8" to 7", typical of a hand-made silver set. One spoon has been repaired at the handle-bowl join, which requires a loupe to see properly. Otherwise, condition of this set is excellent.
