Description
Presented is a great European sterling silver straining spoon made in the very early 1900s. This piece was made in continental Europe & imported into England in 1904. It was almost certainly made in Germany, but perhaps the Netherlands. The full bodied handle is in the form of a man holding a pair of buckets, & his body is three dimensionally rendered & decorated on both the front & reverse. The bowl is cast & engraved with scroll & fruit designs. The bowl is marked with the English sun import mark, 925 for sterling purity & a date letter i for 1904. There are also some pseudo-hallmarks on the handle, including 935, indicating that the purity of this spoon is actually higher than sterling. The hallmarks, other than English ones, look like pseudo-Augsburg hallmarks. This piece is in excellent condition. There are no dents, no breaks, no splits & no repairs. The spoon measures 7 1/4 inches long & weighs 80.5 grams or 2.8 ounces. Old 1904 Dutch/German Figural Sterling Pierced Straining Spoon
