This pattern was originally produced from about 1760. It is now very rare. Genuine examples, which should have a scarf join, are hard to find and are mostly serving pieces. The Onslow pattern is such a festive design that this spoon lends itself well to being given as a gift. Also, it could easily be used as a punch or fruit salad ladle or for any soft puddings.
