I have merged the two threads that mention this artefact, in order to avoid duplication and possible confusion.

Solomon,

I see I inadvertently missed part of the discussion; very sorry not to have commented positively yesterday on your outstanding post concerning the pewter slip-spoon. If I may ask, were you able to obtain any information on how this type of spoon was used aboard ship. It may seem like a silly question, but I am very curious about the details of daily life aboard these vessels and the form of this spoon has fallen out of usage.

Grubstake, thank you for allowing us another peek at the fabulous past.

Dutch pewter slip top spoon circa 1660

These were table spoons. The sailor most probably hung it from his belt, along with his knife. Spoons were used commonly for soup and porridge.

I hope this is helpful, David.

Cheers!
Solomon
