Set of eight, perfect, very early 20th century long-handled tea/ soda spoons. The slender silver ingot handles are hammered, carefully stamped at the flared ends with a design reminiscent of a small down feather. The bowl of each spoon is created separately from a special work handened form, seamlessly hard soldered to its handle and decoratively stamped with a crescent.
Charming fresh design, beautifully executed, Navajo crafted. A pleasure to look at and to use.
Vintage silver utencils speak to your subtle Ralph Lauren side!
