Featured Large Spoon

This large spoon is 10 inches long.It weighs a little more than 3 oz.
It is hand decorated. It is marked "900" (which I assume stands for 900 ssilver
Any help on its age or origin would be appreciated
Thanks View attachment 401150

 

Beautiful! It looks SE Asian.
Could we see a closeup of the mark, and of the cartouche just above the bowl?

 

The bowl of this Thai ceremonial spoon and the way it is attached looks like yours:

900 silver would not likely be Thai. My guess is Yogyakarta, Cambodia, or India, in that order. Early to mid 20th century.

Just as a note - the site referenced here is filled with misinformation, though they've changed a few things over time. Years ago I emailed the owner with some information, but it was ignored - couple of months ago, while researching a piece, happened on a spoon with a ridiculous story, emailed again and offered facts about the piece, the response was that I was correct and they would to change it, adding, "Sometimes I make assumptions which turn out to be false." The spoon remains with its fantasy description...

So he posted it twice. I didn't even remember the first one.
He hasn't been back to look at the first thread, and hasn't looked at this one either. So I guess we will see it again, in a third thread.

 

Wow. Good to know, thanks for telling us.
