This interesting spoon has the form and proportions of a regular tablespoon, with the size of a large basting spoon.  The size of the bowl is such that it would fall in to the "hash spoon" category, the width of the terminal also being 1-1/2".  Hash spoons were large serving spoons used for serving a mixture of meat and potatoes in the18th and early 19th century. 

Condition : Several short scratches and very minor dings to the bowl; very slight bowl tip wear; otherwise excellent and of exceptional quality
