The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Bridge spoons are novelty silver or silver-plated teaspoons and cocktail spoons created during the 1920s and 1930s. They were designed specifically for serving refreshments during card games such as contract bridge and feature handles or finials shaped like hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.

These sets were typically manufactured from solid sterling silver or silver plate for the shafts and bowls. The card suit terminals were frequently crafted using early synthetic plastics of the period, most notably Bakelite or Catalin, in vivid colours such as red and black.

Authentic silver examples will feature official assay hallmarks or makers marks stamped onto the stem or bowl indicating silver purity and date. Genuine Bakelite terminals will show no mould seams and will emit a distinct chemical odour when tested with warm water or friction.

Cased silver spoon sets can be displayed open inside a glass-topped display table, positioned on a bar cart alongside vintage glassware, or styled on a sideboard shelf to add historical detail to modern dining and living spaces.

Clean the silver elements using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding contact with the Bakelite elements. Bakelite terminals should be wiped with a damp cloth and kept away from hot water, harsh chemical detergents, and direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
