An impressively designed line of Art Nouveau flatware issued at the turn of the 20th century, Alvin's Majestic features a variety of floral imagery.
The portraiture on this 6" long, just over .8 T. oz., olive spoon is iris. It is offered in high relief, with multiple blossoms situated at the handle end, and one midway, on the front. The backside portrays sinuous, flowing leaves.
The bowl is set at an angle to the handle, has scalloped edges, a vee-shaped heel, and circular piercings.
Never monogrammed, this is in superb condition, free of polishing wear, damage of any sort, and showing a bright finish.
Marks are Alvin's three part emblem, "Sterling," and "Patent," all in fine, precise lettering as would be expected of an original, early production, piece.
