An early 20th century pattern, Wallace's "Violet" is an expressive Art Nouveau floral design.
This example is a 7 1/4" long, 1.3 T. oz., preserve or jelly spoon.
A large blossom occupies the central portion of the handle and is surrounded by additional blossoms, buds, and leaves the full length of the handle and on the backside.
The pattern also extends onto the scalloped edge, rounded end, bowl.
Never monogrammed, this is a fine example, with clear pattern detail. The only signs of use are surface flecking on the bowl. The finish is bright and even.
Marks are Wallace's "RW&S deer head" emblem and "Sterling."
