Spoon Mold

Copp Family · 1730 - 1780

This is a brass mold and cast–spoon that belonged to the Copp family of Stonington, Connecticut during the 18th and 19th century. The mold is for a Hanoverian type rattail spoon, with a stem that widens gradually toward its curved finial and then turns upward. The pewter spoon is unfinished, with the remnant from the sprue still at the spoon’s lip and protrusions along the handle.
