Large Vintage Retro Modern Modernist German 800 Silver Serving Spoon

Dating to the 1950s or so may I offer this silver serving spoon that is possibly from Germany. The top of the handle is nicely etched with curlicues and leaves. No monogram to the back.

Condition: Being vintage, there are light marks of use, storage and time (as well as some dust particles showing in my pictures). The patina is wonderfully warm and I try to only lightly polish for photos, the main polish I leave to the new owner. There are no major defects like dings, dents or ugly blemishes that might spoil the beauty of the silver.

Metal Content: 800 Silver

Hallmarks: Makers Mark (Looks like a Tazza) 800 Crescent Moon Crown

Size: Length on a straight line is 8-5/8"; width at the bowl is 2-3/4".

Weight: 93 grams

Final Comments: Look for the 2 matching pieces I have in other listings - a gravy/sauce ladle and a pie server (last photo).

NOTE: St. Louis is headquarters to one of the best consignors to my shop. They take in a lot of silver flatware and hollow ware as part trade for sale of their jewelry. Some of the pieces are wonderful and I want to save as many as I can from being scrapped so I will be offering as many silver items as possible. When I can, I will beat anyone’s price on RL. I want to turn over the silver inventory quickly so I can keep loading in more. St. Louis was a boom city in the 1800s and the silver inventory here is legendary. For those who know, the 1904 World’s Fair held one of the largest competitions in silver design – all the big maker names of the day competed and a lot of the winning pieces stayed in St. Louis after the Fair ended. So keep watching my listings, I never know what I am going to have week to week – all I know is it will be varied, fabulous and deserving of a good home.
