介绍（中）	这把勺子的精心设计和高质量的工艺，以及材料的珍贵性，肯定地表明它属于一个有地位的人。不幸的是，图案和配色方案都没有成功地与特定的家庭相关联。这把勺子顶部是石榴顶端，以半透明的绿色和紫色珐琅制成，由一条白色珐琅带隔开，其中印有镀银图案：花卉窗饰、星星、光芒四射的新月和成对装饰符号（可能是未破译的首字母）。用金属装饰品压印珐琅的技术将勺子与一组物体联系起来，这些物体在珐琅中印有石榴顶端和金星星。该系列中的烧杯与彩绘珐琅技术有关，该技术被认为是在十五世纪下半叶在荷兰开发的，尽管也有人认为它们可能是在德国（可能是莱茵兰）为威尼斯市场或威尼斯本身生产的。十五世纪几种创新的珐琅技术的起源问题，包括这种勺子上使用的技术，仍然存在争议。
介绍（英）	The elaborateness of design and high quality of workmanship, as well as the preciousness of the materials, of this spoon indicate with certainty that it belonged to a person of rank. Unfortunately, neither the motifs nor the color scheme have been successfully associated with a particular family. This spoon, surmounted by a pomegranate finial, is executed in translucent green and purple enamel, separated by a band of white enamel, into which are impressed silver-gilt motifs: floral tracery, stars, radiant crescents, and pairs of ornamental symbols (possibly undeciphered initials). The technique of impressing enamel with metallic ornament links the spoon to a group of objects, which have pomegranate finials and gold stars impressed in the enamel. The beakers in this series have been associated with the painted enamel technique thought to have been developed in the Netherlands in the second quarter of the fifteenth century, though it has also been suggested that they may have been produced in Germany, possibly the Rhineland, for the Venetian market, or in Venice itself. The problem of the origins of several innovative fifteenth-century enamel techniques, including that employed on this spoon, remains controversial.
