This David Andersen caddy spoon originates from the mid-century period, designed in a Mid-Century Modern style. The piece consists of sterling silver with a silver gilt finish, complemented by blue and white guilloche enamel. A circular bowl connects to a flat, geometric handle decorated with repeated circular and linear motifs. Slight wear is visible to the silver gilt on the reverse of the bowl, while the enamel remains in good condition with no losses, and the reverse bears clear maker marks. Measuring 10.5 cm in length and 4.5 cm in width, the spoon is small enough for display. In a contemporary home, this item serves as a decorative accessory when placed on a sideboard top. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for curation alongside other silver pieces, or as a collector's item within a cabinet. The vibrant blue and white enamel detailing combined with the reflective gold tone of the gilt finish provides visual interest for interior styling.

FAQs

Norwegian guilloche enamel silverware gained prominence in the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, led by silversmiths such as David Andersen. The process involves engine-turning precise geometric patterns onto sterling silver before applying translucent vitreous enamel layers.

These pieces are crafted from sterling silver, often finished with a silver-gilt or vermeil wash to prevent tarnish. The handle decoration consists of vitreous glass enamel fused to the metal surface at high temperatures.

Authentic items carry maker marks including the David Andersen name or scales mark, alongside silver purity stamps such as 925S or 830S. Precision engine-turned pattern work beneath smooth, undamaged enamel also indicates original production.

Display the spoon on a styled tray alongside contemporary teaware or store it inside a glass vitrine on a sideboard. Compact silver items serve as delicate accents when grouped with ceramics or placed within decorative shadow boxes.

Wipe the object gently using a soft, non-abrasive cloth moistened with lukewarm water and mild detergent. Avoid submersion in water, chemical silver dips, or abrasive polishes, as these can degrade the enamel coating and strip the gilt layer.
