20% Off! Hand-hammered Antique Navajo Iced Tea Spoon w/ Whirling Logs & Owl

We are offering a marvelous hand-hammered antique Navajo spoon for you to consider. This is a very desirable and highly collectible iced tea spoon. It measures 7 1/4 inches long and the bowl is 7/8 inches wide. It is heavy gauge silver and was well made by somebody who knew what he or she was doing. This type of spoon was always made from ingot silver by the Navajo Indians of Arizona and New Mexico for the tourist trade at the turn of the last century. They were never marked for silver content. Good quality iced tea spoons are much more rare than the standard tourist spoons that were made and sold. The design elements are all stamped into the piece as was commonly done. Top of the handle has an elaborate design that is hard to describe but appears to be an owl at the top with an arrow pointing down the spoon. The bowl is stamped with a whirling logs icon and another random design element. The reverse side shows the hammering and filing marks that should be present with an item such as this. The spoon is in excellent condition with no metal fatigue cracks as are commonly found on old pieces of hammered silver. It has a beautiful glowing patina that covers the whole piece. Overall, this spoon is a gem and priced well-below the going market for such unique pieces.

If you collect Navajo spoons then this spoon is for you. It is a nice elegant addition to your collection. If you do not collect these spoons then it is time to start. Their value is skyrocketing since the release of the book by Cindra Kline. You can shop with confidence at Sweetpea Cottage. YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED.
