FAQs

A preserve spoon is a specialised piece of serving cutlery historically designed for portioning jams, marmalades, and fruit preserves from a jar or bowl to a plate during formal dining occasions.

These items are generally crafted from sterling silver, often utilising casting or stamping techniques, frequently featuring decorative pierced bowls and ornate handles.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, silver standard, and date letter, alongside assessing the natural patina and wear.

Antique silver tableware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets or utilised on the dining table to add tactile historic texture and reflective metallic contrast to contemporary settings.

Sterling silver should be washed gently in warm water with a mild detergent, dried thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polished periodically with a non-abrasive silver cleaner to prevent tarnish build-up.
