I am trying to identify the country of origin, maker, date, etc. for the pictured solid silver pierced spoon. The spoon is 9.5 inches long. The bowl of the spoon is 2.125 inches in diameter. It has a wood handle stained or painted black with a small ivory bead on the end of the handle. I hope I got the picture upload right?
