Small salt spoon
Salt spoon from Lord Nelson's Nile/Copenhagen service.
Small silver spoon for use with a salt cellar (see PLT0112). The spoon has a round gilt bowl to prevent corrosion by salt, as does the interior of the salt cellar. The plain handle is engraved with Nelson's 'St. Josef' crest.
The salt spoon is one of four in the NMM, matching four salt cellars, part of Lloyd's service.
