介绍（中）	梅登黑德汤匙似乎是在十四世纪晚期出现的。1446年，达勒姆隐修会的一份清单显示，其中一些被缩进以代表圣母玛利亚，其中"ij coclearia argentea at deaurata unius sectae，cum ymaginibus Beatae Mariae in fine or undem"（"两个部分镀金的银汤匙，末端有圣母玛利亚的图像"），在1525年的一个更晚的时期，其中提到了"有圣母像的勺子"。在本例中，圣母穿着十五世纪上半叶的时尚服饰，戴着精心制作的卷边头饰和V形领口和凸起衣领的连衣裙这两种勺子虽然都可能是省级工艺，因为它们没有明显的伦敦银标记，但却是十四世纪末最受欢迎的两种勺子的好例子。其他最常见的类型是菱形尖端、密封顶部和滑动顶部。
介绍（英）	Maidenhead spoons seem to have made their appearance in the late fourteenth century. That some were indented to represent the Virgin Mary is revealed in an inventory of Durham Priory, in 1446, in which "ij coclearia argentea at deaurata unius sectae, cum ymaginibus Beatae Mariae in fine eorundem" ("two partially gilded silver spoons with the image of the Holy Mary at their ends"), and again in a much later of 1525 in which spoons "knopped with the image of our Lady" are mentioned. In the present example, the Virgin, dressed in the fashion of the first half of the fifteenth century, wears an elaborate rolled headdress and a dress with a V-shaped neckline and a raised collar. These two spoons, although both probably of provincial workmanship since they bear no clearly identifiable London silver mark, are good examples of two of the most popular types of spoons in the late fourteenth centuries. The other most common types were the diamond point, the seal top, and the slip-top.
