Spoon collectors can certainly appreciate the craftsmanship. The spoon is 5 1/2 inches long and weighs in at 1 ounce. Being hand made, one can see the rough side where the metal was worked (see photo) but these are not defects of the spoon. The front of the spoon and a spot on the back of the spoon's bowl seem to be a little rough, as if it was scraped against something, but this is nothing that ruins the display quality of the spoon.
