專家說明

Surviving spoons of this type are almost all of French origin. Also described as Strawberry or Fruitlet knop they appear in medieval wills. Constable op. cit. cites both a will of 1440 which includes six spoons 'de fradelett' and six others 'cum fetlettez' and six 'gilt spoons with strawberry knoppes' in an inventory of plate belonging to the Merchant Taylors' Company taken in 1512.
