This set of six silver enamel teaspoons dates from the 1930 period in a vintage British style. Each spoon features a teardrop bowl, a long stem, and a shield-shaped finial decorated with a blue and white enamel burgee flag representing the Tamesis Club. The spoons have a polished silver finish and are housed in a fitted presentation case lined with blue satin and velvet fabric, secured by blue retaining loops inside a brown wooden box with metal hinges. Rubbed hallmarks appear on the reverse of the spoons, which each measure 11 cm in length. The boxed set displays on a sideboard top in a coastal retreat interior, ready for service or collection.

FAQs

Enamel presentation and souvenir spoons became prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as commemorative gifts for events, clubs, and travel destinations. Silver makers applied vitreous enamel to decorative finials, often displaying coats of arms, flags, or crests.

These items are typically forged from sterling silver or silver plate, featuring vitreous enamel applied to the handle or finial using techniques like champleve or cloisonne. They are frequently accompanied by wooden presentation cases lined with satin or velvet.

Authentic pieces carry stamped hallmarks indicating the silver purity, makers mark, assay office, and date letter on the stem or reverse of the bowl. The vitreous enamel should be smooth and fused directly to the metal substrate.

Cased silver spoon sets can be displayed open on a console, sideboard, or cabinet shelf to showcase the fabric lining and metal contrast. Alternatively, individual pieces are used as decorative accent objects in framed shadow boxes.

Gently wipe the silver components with a soft silver polishing cloth, taking care not to rub abrasive polishes onto the enamel sections. Store the spoons in their original fabric-lined case or an anti-tarnish cloth to prevent oxidisation.
