I have included a ruler and a tea sized spoon to help you visualize size
This is the large size of the Swiss Guard spoons. Tea sized versions
are also available
This beautiful spoon is cast and partially gilded with extensive
chasing and some engraving
There is an 830 silver quality mark -- and a German crescent/crown
quality mark
I am surprised that there is no manufacturer mark as the workmanship is
really nice.
The shield just above the bowl is engraved "Glarus" for the city and/or
Canton of Glarus
The back of the spoon is fully finished with fine silversmithing
workmanship
The front and back of the finial are incredibly detailed and
show very nice workmanship.
The shield is engraved with a picture of the Pope.
The revese shows a huge broad sword.
