FAQs

Berry spoons and sifters were specialised serving pieces introduced in the Georgian era and popularised during the Victorian period, specifically designed for serving soft fruits like berries topped with cream or sugar.

These sets are typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring hand-chased or repousse fruit motifs on the bowls, and housed in leather-bound presentation cases lined with silk velvet and satin.

Authenticity is determined by checking for official British assay office hallmarks, maker marks such as those from Elkington & Co, and examining the crispness of the hand-chased detailing and patination on the silver.

Cased silver spoon sets can be displayed open on a sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet to add historical texture, metallic sheen, and a layer of curated sophistication to a dining space.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to preserve the fine details and patina, and stored in a dry, tarnish-resistant lined case away from direct sunlight.
