Groninger apostellepel in 1630/31 gemaakt door - Lambert...

Silver apostle spoon from Groningen, made circa 1630 by Lambert Muntinck. The almost round bowl merges directly into the cast handle. The lower half, with the motif of a fruit-picking bird, passes via a profiled intermediate piece into the round, tapering upper half. The handle is crowned by a figure of Christ on a circular pedestal. A comparable apostle spoon by Muntinck is depicted on page 204 of ‘Groninger Keur’ (J.P. van Rijen). The spoon has a small, almost invisible repair to the bowl. As a silver mark the spoon bears the master mark of Lambert Muntinck (LM as a monogram). In addition, a nearly unreadable year letter (possibly 2/A = 1630/31, see photo 8) and a punch mark. The length of the spoons is 17 cm, the width of the bowl 5.5 cm and the weight 38.8 grams.
