This 6" long, just over 1.0 T. oz. (32 grams) teaspoon incorporates a cast and applied, high relief, cherub or baby's face set on an Old English handle.
It was made by Gorham whose "lion, anchor, G" emblem, the word "Sterling," "M" for medium weight designation, model number "H 1467," and date symbol for 1899 appear on the backside.
A youth or child's spoon, the name "James" is engraved sideways in script on the handle front.
Apart from a few pinpoint flecks in the base of the bowl, which is otherwise free of bends, dents, or tip wear, the piece appears little used. The figure retains clear details, and the finish overall is bright and satiny smooth to the touch.
