Sorry, this item is out of stock.

The "mussel" is probably the most handsome of all silver caddy spoons and certainly one of the most cherished.

Made by Francis Higgins, this cast, novelty spoon has a pleasing two-tone gilt finish with the gold showing inside the mussel shell bowl and to the leaves that cling to the tendril handle. This highly-prized Victorian spoon has a wonderful feeling of top drawer quality and remains in excellent condition.
