Heavy-gauge Fiddle pattern silver basting spoon

A particularly heavy-gauge antique silver basting or serving spoon in the classic Fiddle pattern. This fine silver basting spoon example is of a practical and useful size, and in exceptionally good condition.
Usually known as Plain Fiddle because of the huge number of derivatives, its name springs from the fiddle-shaped handle and must rate as one of the major and lasting designs for flatware.
The earliest example of Fiddle pattern can be found among Roman silver in the British Museum although its production in England in the mid 18th century stemmed from France where it was the most popular pattern.
