Spoon
Not on view
The first known mention of the acorn knop appears in a will of 1348, in which one John de Holegh bequeathed to Thomas Taillour "12 silver spoons with akernes." Later references to such acorn-knop spoons indicate that the finials were gilded as were those of other types of silver spoons of this period.
