Mustard Spoon and Salt Spoons

These spoons were specially made for the White House by Washington, D.C. silversmiths Charles A. Burnett and Jacob Leonard between 1817 and 1830. The mustard spoon on the left was the work of Leonard, while the two salt spoons on the right came from Burnett. Several presidents, including Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, patronized these local silversmiths.
