Herewith a rare object which actually is on display in our "House & Home" galleries. A tea strainer spoon by Burlington, NJ, silversmith Nathaniel Coleman. The maker's mark and date of 1832 suggest (assuming that they were not added later) that this was made shortly before Coleman stopped working in 1835 (as per Louise Belden). I keep trying to latch onto images of our collection as I find them...this is budget season and I'll do anything to avoid thinking about budgets. IP: Logged |

One of the many pleasures of retirement is freedom from budgets (the domestic apart) and time to browse the forum, so escape and post images as often as you like! IP: Logged |

A tea strainer spoon seems like such a practical item, but I suppose it would be an extra, with a regular tea strainer the norm. IP: Logged |

Hi there Ulysses, Really neat piece. Dimensions please. "A curator's viewpoint" is the first forum I look at to see if there is a new or updated posting. Thanks you. Marc IP: Logged |

Nice thing about pieces like this is that after 175 years or so they are still usable for their original function. IP: Logged |

I'm not in my office, but I'd say the bowl is 3inches across and the whole is 7 inches long. IP: Logged |
