This lovely twisted vintage organic shaped mother-of-pearl, sea shell serving spoon. Make a statement with your severer-ware. This is extremely unique.

Notice the organically curved handle is attached to the concave shell by three small screws set into a thin strip of bronze. The iridescence of the ivory and dark green of the shell creates a pearlescent effect that shifts and glints in the light. This spoon is in remarkable condition, particularly given the age.
