Add to album

This silver spoon, made between 1665 and 1667, was dug up in Haddington in East Lothian in 1924. It is known as a Puritan-end spoon and was made by Edinburgh silversmith, David Bog. It is very rare in Scotland, this being one of only five known examples.

Silver Puritan spoon by David Bog, Edinburgh, 1665 - 1667, dug up in Church Street, Haddington, East Lothian

The Puritan-end spoon probably gets its name from the fact that it originally appeared during the period of Puritan domination in England. The Puritan name may also be because the spoon has a very plain shape.
