This is a fantastic find of a spoon holder in Opalescent Flint Milk Glass. The pattern is called Paneled Leaf and I have also heard it called Paneled Fern. This beautiful pattern can be seen on page 82 of E. M. Belnap's book "Milk Glass". There is a picture of a Paneled Leaf creamer. On the bottom of the page is written "The pattern is so unique I have found it on no other piece such as a sugar, butter, compote, etc." I myself have seen other pieces of this pattern but not many. This spooner stands 5-1/2" tall and 3-1/4" in diameter at the scalloped rim. The foot is 2-7/8" in diameter. I can find nothing wrong with this early spooner except the inside bottom seems to have a matte finish from the use of the spoons. I have seen this pattern attributed to Sandwich Glass but can find no reference to confirm. The glass is flint, opalescent milk glass, and very early, I am guessing early in the 1850-70's period. This is something very special for the collector that has everything. There are absolutely no chips, flakes or cracks.
