Notes
Reporting on the Museumâs Iranian holdings to date in May 1873, Robert Murdoch Smith assessed a set of wooden spoons a follows: âAll these spoons are made of the wood of the pear tree at the small town of Abadeh (not Shiraz). They are usually made in three sizes, the largest for taking sherbet, the medium size for soup, pilau etc. and the smallest for pickles. These are fair specimens of this kind of work.â (V&A Archives).
