A tall silver serving spoon features a deep, oval bowl and a slender handle. The top of the handle flares into a fan-like shape patterned with vertical ridges. Highly polished and reflective, the silver surface reveals dark patches of tarnish within the bowl and along the neck. The piece creates a symmetrical silhouette, tapering from its decorative flared end down to the smooth, elongated curve of the bowl.
