A rare 1795 colossal 12" stuffing spoon with an impressive large bowl, beaded edge, and four bevel drop in outstanding condition made by Peder Christensen Beyer of Bergen Norway.

He was the guild elder from 1790 to 1792. The workshop's production was extensive, and a large number of works from it are registered.
