<p>[QUOTE="David Askett, post: 7713019, member: 4727"]I’m having very little success identifying this treen item. It’s either a large spoon or small ladle, carved from a single piece of wood (sycamore?). Underneath the bowl are the letters POR (initials?) and the date 1790. Of course, I cannot be sure this item actually dates back this far. If anyone knows what this is and, where in the world it comes from, and/or if it is really more than 200 years old, I would be very grateful if you would share this information!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/d55gfGL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/SR1qsmn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/aC1Kei4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/1p0dgvY.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7XAJg0S.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
