FAQs

Fruit and berry spoons gained immense popularity during the Victorian era when formal dining etiquette required specialised utensils for each course. Bowls were frequently gilded or deeply engraved to prevent acidic fruit juices from reacting with the underlying metal.

These utensils were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver (EPNS). The metal base was often decorated using techniques such as bright-cut engraving, embossing, or repousse work.

Authentic pieces usually bear makers marks or hallmarks near the top of the handle or reverse of the stem, such as EPNS for electroplated nickel silver. Look for characteristic Victorian decorative motifs, including bright-cut foliage, berries, or starburst engraving within the bowl.

Displaying antique silver serving spoons in a glazed cabinet or atop a dining room sideboard adds vintage character to modern spaces. They can also be integrated into contemporary table settings alongside modern flatware to create an eclectic dining experience.

Clean silver-plated items using a soft cloth and a specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads that can strip the thin silver layer. Store them in tarnish-resistant cloth bags or lined drawers away from excess humidity and direct sunlight.
