Antique Novelty English Spoon Warmer - Chick and Egg

Antiques : Silver : Plate

 

A really super and adorable spoon warmer dating to around 1860, Victorian in period. Why put a cold spoon in your mouth when it can be warmed in hot water prior to use?

The egg sits on a bundle of corn and the chick perches on the top peering into the egg, really charming.

Made of silver plate, it is marked on the underside, Frank Lister / Silversmith / New Cleethorpes together with the design or patten number 2776.

The spoon warmer remains in very good condition with one little ding and some surface wear commensurate with age, simply mentioned for accuracy.

Measures 5 1/2" long x 5 1/2" tall to top of chicks head.
