Medicine Spoon - Part 2
When I started looking for Medicine Spoons, I thought I would find small spoons that one would use for a child. I was wrong. There were a few that I showed in an earlier post. For the most part what I found, with the exception of the Tiffany patterns, were partially covered spoons. But each example was unique in its own way. I continue my search for more examples.

New Vintage by Durgin
New Vintage was introduced by Durgin in 1904. It is a fairly straightforward pattern with a scallop shell adorning the top of the terminal and a bunch of grapes draped beneath it surrounded on the sides by (what looks to me like) acanthus leaves wrapped around the edges. The stem is simple but elegant and the serving pieces I found were not particularly fancy.
