Silver tablespoon made in the Republic circa 1650.; baroque with egg-shaped scoop, on the back, at the joining of the scoop and the handle, engraved cartouche of the coat of arms with a hollow shield; the handle in the form of a flat faceted bar, decorated with engraving, originally ending in a profiled dome.
Very similar spoons can be found in the collection of the National Museum in Krakow (e.g. MNK XV-307 https://zbiory.mnk.pl/pl/katalog/523365 ). The similarities are not only in size, but also in form and decoration. It is very likely that they were made in the same workshop or workshop circle.
