A Really Gorgeous Large Antique French Gilt Silver Strawberry Spoon with a gold vermeil (gilt) bowl, and intricate hand-engraved decoration including strawberries, blossom, and a finely depicted bird in flight.

The bowl is marked with the French ‘Minerva Head Mark’ confirming the piece is made of .800 or higher purity silver, a standard for fine French silverware of the 19th century – circa 1900.
