Post-medieval Pewter Spoon (No reserve price)

The Post-medieval Pewter Spoon represents a domestic utensil typical from the late medieval to early modern period, roughly spanning the 16th and 17th centuries. Pewter, an alloy primarily of tin with small amounts of other metals like copper or antimony, was commonly used for household items due to its affordable cost and ease of casting. Spoons made of pewter were everyday objects for eating and cooking, reflecting modest domestic life before widespread porcelain use. The design of post-medieval pewter spoons often featured simple, rounded bowls and plain or mildly decorated handles, highlighting functional craftsmanship. Such artifacts are significant in understanding daily life, material culture, and technological practices in post-medieval Europe.
