Description
This unique demi-tasse spoon is adorned with a beautifully detailed horse's head on an elegant split handle. The bowl has the original engraving "Newmarket" and I imagine was given as a prize for a race or as a souvenir from the home of horse racing. The craftsmanship of the horse is particularly nice.
A unique and historic item for the race enthusiast.
