Issued in 1910 (some sources indicate 1890), Alvin's Marie Antoinette, bespeaks its French design origins in its delicate, raised, detailing which includes garlands, wreaths, ribbons, and laurel leaves, all set on a plain ground. The pattern repeats on both sides of the handle.
This example is a 7 7/8" long, 2.2 T. oz., small berry or perhaps vegetable serving spoon.
It has a large, 3 3/8" by 2 3/8", bowl with squared corners.
Never monogrammed, this is in pristine condition, showing no wear or imperfections and having a brilliant, hand polished only, finish.
Marks are Alvin's three part emblem, "Sterling," and "Patent," all in fine, precise, lettering.
