    NOTE:  Although this spoon is not hallmarked as Shepard, an article in Silver Magazine describes a Floral series of spoons by Shepard (ca. 1900) that match this spoon (it also provides images). The series was called the "The Flora" -- they had heart-shaped bowls, a twisted handle, and enameled flower on the end of the spoon. The handle was framed with dots along the edge (see Wilhelm, R. M., Silver Magazine, September/October 2010, pages 34-36).
