FAQs

Berry spoons are specialised serving utensils designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for serving soft fruits and berries at the dining table. The gilded bowls were intended to protect the sterling silver from oxidation caused by acidic fruit juices.

Georgian berry spoons were constructed from sterling silver, typically featuring hand-engraved bright-cut handles and press-embossed or chased repousse bowls depicting fruit and floral motifs. The interior of the bowl was frequently given a wash of gold gilding.

Authentic George III silver spoons display full British hallmark sets, including the sovereigns head duty mark, the lion passant for sterling quality, a date letter, and a makers mark. Many berry spoons were later embossed in the Victorian era using earlier plain Georgian spoon blanks.

Antique silver berry spoons can be styled as decorative accent pieces on a sideboard top, arranged within a shallow glazed display case, or used functionally during formal dinner service to add historical texture to a modern table setting.

Gilded silver should be washed gently in warm soapy water with a soft cloth to avoid wearing down the gold layer. Harsh chemical polishes and abrasive cloths should be avoided, particularly on the gold-washed bowl interior.
