A beautifully detailed antique Gorham sterling silver Zodiac spoon featuring the sign of Cancer (♋) and the month of June.
This charming late 19th-century spoon was crafted during the Victorian fascination with astrology and symbolic gifting. The terminal features a finely rendered crab (Cancer) framed within ornate scrolling, with the zodiac symbol and “June” engraved along the handle.

These Zodiac spoons were highly collectible in their day and remain sought after today, especially when tied to a birth month.
