A caddy spoon in plain silver, this is one of the small functional objects the Taxco workshop produced alongside its jewelry. The form is utilitarian and the surface left to the quality of the hand-raised metal rather than to applied ornament.
Such tablewares belonged to the workshop's First Design Period output, the years in which Spratling established what Mexican modern silver could be. With no further period documentation recorded for this piece, it stands as a modest, characteristic example of the everyday silver the taller made for the table.
