Small spoon from the Swan Serivce for Heinrich von Brühl

Unmarked; The serving spoon follows the shape of the serving spoon in a smaller format. Like the large serving spoon, the upper end of the handle is widened like a spade and decorated with a raised scallop relief, while the swan relief appears in the oval bowl with the two swans swimming in the water and the heron standing in the reeds as well as a second heron floating in the air. On the underside of the spade handle is the painted Brühl-Kolowrat-Krakowsky alliance coat of arms and on the top is an ‘Indian’ flower. Further flowers of this type are distributed in a triangular composition under the inner edge of the spade. A gold line surrounds the entire shape, from which a gold border of stylised three-pointed leaves hangs in the area of the bowl.
