At 4 3/16" long, this sterling silver coffee spoon is slightly larger than a demitasse. It was made by Shiebler in the Flora series, with a winged S mark on the reverse, along with Sterling and Pat'd 89. In this instance the flower is forget-me-not. The condition is flawless. The interior of the perfectly-shaped bowl is satin matte. There is no monogram or monogram removal.

These four, matching, coin silver spoons are an unusual 7 3/4" long. They would have been place pieces, used perhaps for soup, porridge or dessert. They are stamped "S.T. Crosby," which dates them 1854-59. Whether they were manufactured by this Boston firm, or simply retailed by that operation is uncertain. Either could be the case. The pattern, Prince Albert, is most associated with Michael Gibney, but shows up with many makers' and retailers' stamps. These are exceptionally well made, an... Click for details

The Heritage Foundation work on New England Silversmiths by Flynt & Fales offers biographical information on William Cadogan Simes, the maker of this 5" long, coin silver coffee spoon. His dates are 1773-1824, with the style of this suggesting somewhere mid-range in those years. His marks are several, with the one on this large block lettering. The piece is plain save for a fancy feathered cursive monogram. The condition is very good. The form is flawless, and the finish nicely patinated. ... Click for details

The bowl is plum-shaped, has a flanged rim, a slightly pointed tip, and is finished in a mostly intact gold wash. The condition is excellent. There are scant signs of wear, and no damage wha...

Paye & Baker's Poppy was a very successful art nouveau design. It is lush, sinuous and redolent with a sense of plush Victorian summer gardens. P&B effected a gray finish to the silver in this pattern, which enhanced the design further. This item is a 7 1/8" long, sterling silver horseradish spoon, as identified in the company's 1908 catalog. It is in flawless condition, and without a monogram or monogram removal. Marks are P & B inside hearts, and Sterling.

a splashy if not terribly heavy (2.8 oz. Troy) piece of silver with a well engraved parcel gilt bowl, length 9 1/8 inches. There's tiny bit of waviness to the rear cartouche, mentioned only for the sake of accuracy (this too minor to show up in a photo-- see image four) but the overall condition is superb and it's priced to sell quickly.

These six round soup or bouillon spoons are early examples of Gorham's Strasbourg. Each piece is stamped with a lion, anchor, G and the word Sterling. This mark may predate the one that includes "Patent 1897," suggesting these could be among the earliest production in this line. Each spoon has a cursive "H" monogram and flanged shoulders. The condition of all six is outstanding, with no evident polishing wear, and well-shaped, smooth bowls.

This cream or sauce ladle in Gorham's Strasbourg is 5 1/2" long. It is an older piece, with the lion, anchor, G, Patent 1897, and Sterling marks. It has scalloped edge, flanged shoulders on the bowl, which also retains a very pale residue of an original matte gold wash. The condition is very good. There is no monogram or removal; the form is excellent. The interior of the bowl has fine scratches consistent with age.

Gorham's Isis is an Egyptian Revival 1870 design that, popular in its time, continues to hold great allure to the present day. This example is a 6 5/8" long, sterling silver sugar spoon. It has an Old English "B" monogram, that, curiously, straddles the right angle formed by two facets of the four-sided, hollow handle. This application must have presented a modest challenge to the engraver, whose skills were equal to the task given the precisely aligned result. The condition is very good. T... Click for details

Wedding is a thoroughly engaging, figural pattern produced by Gorham in the 1860's. It features a pair of cast and applied doves flirtatiously kissing as they are perched, wings spread, atop a festooned shield handle end. This piece is a 9 1/8" long serving spoon, with a flowing "EIS" (?) monogram. The bowl is unusual in that it has a central groove and pointed end, rather than the more commonly found rounded end with a smooth base. The condition is excellent, with no signs of wear, and a fi...

Gorham produced a series of hollow-handle items in the 1870's which remain without an identified pattern name. This 8" long, sterling silver sugar sifter, or possibly ice spoon, is an example of the line. It has a satin matte finish, with banding and bright cutting on the handle. The 2 1/4" square bowl is intricately pierced and engraved, and has four vee shaped channels that merge in the center of the base. The form and cutting on the bowl suggests a palmetto or lotus leaf, similar in style... Click for details
