Further details:

Circa 1400. The bottom half is copied from a pewter original illustrated in “Pewter Spoons” by Coventry Museum, whereas the top half is copied from a silver original of the same date. An early method of manufacture was to cast pewter into stone moulds, and the shape of the shaft would have meant the casting released easily from the mould.
