     I find this diamond point spoon, also unmarked and 6.1 inches long, more difficult to date confidently. The stem is hexagonal, but again has very narrow top and bottom facets. The bottom facet changes to a sharp ridge where it becomes the "heel" to the bowl. The style seems transitional between the diamond shaped cross-section that persisted on the continent and the English hexagon. The deep drop from stem to bottom of the bowl is typical of earlier spoons. On balance I think it is English rather than continental and from the late 14^th or early 15^th century
