This set of six sterling silver teaspoons dates from 1960 in the Mid-Century Modern style. Each spoon has a tapered stem, a polished teardrop-shaped bowl, and an agate terminal in various colours including green, dark green, reddish-brown, banded orange, and blue. The pieces bear Birmingham hallmarks for 1966 with maker's mark AJB, and they arrive arranged in a fitted black-lined presentation case featuring a white satin interior lid lining and a gold-tooled geometric border on the exterior. The spoons measure 12.1 cm long. Ideal for everyday use or display, this cased cutlery fits neatly on a sideboard top in a dining room or living space for serving after-dinner coffee or tea.

FAQs

Mid-century silver flatware often incorporated natural minerals and polished gemstones to create tactile, colourful accents. British silversmiths during the 1960s frequently set polished Scottish agates or assorted hardstones into spoon finials, continuing a tradition that originated in the Victorian era but using cleaner, modern lines.

These sets are typically constructed from hallmarked sterling silver, providing durability and luster. The finials are carved and polished hardstones, such as agate, jasper, or carnelian, and the pieces are stored in velvet-lined fitted presentation boxes.

Authentic pieces carry British assay marks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a town mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture. The stone finials should be securely mounted rather than glued directly to the silver stems.

Cased spoon sets can be displayed open on a dining sideboard or bar cart as part of a formal tableware collection. They are also suitable for serving espresso or dessert sauces during dinner service to add subtle colour to a modern tablescape.

Clean the silver stems gently with a silver polishing cloth, taking care not to submerge the agate stone finials in liquid silver dips. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and wash by hand in warm soapy water, drying immediately with a soft cloth.
