Victorian Silverplate Venetian Ivy Jam Spoon

Of course we all are familiar with the basics: knives, spoons & forks. But what about all those other serving pieces that the Victorians were so fond of? They were all part of an elaborate Victorian table setting, as formal, unique serving utensils for almost every kind of food—oysters, asparagus, bone marrow, crackers, fruit preserves, horseradish, olives—were part of a daily fine-dining experience.

Behold, the lovely Victorian Silverplate Jam Spoon. Gleaming silverplated spoons in an ornate garden-inspired pattern, these lovely serving pieces make a wonderful way to incorporate treasured antiques into your daily routine. Ever so sumptuous a vehicle to spoon sweetness onto your morning toast, yogurt, or croissant, these charming spoons feature a lively ivy leaf motif. Articulated on both the bowl and handle in variations on the design, the spoons are stamped on the reverse with a registration number for 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

Sure to help you feel cultured and refined as you gracefully scoop jams or chunky fruit preserves from a jam pot, these spoons are splendidly, beautifully, wonderfully, obsessively Victorian!
