A sterling silver bonbon spoon. Size: Total length 10.7cm Bowl: 6.5cm x 6.5cm Weight: 32g Hallmarks include Dutch sterling silver marks and British sterling silver assay marks. Dutch mark indicates silver content of 925 or higher. British mark includes the leopard mark (925 or higher). Assay office mark: London Date mark: R: 1892 This sterling silver spoon was manufactured in the Netherlands, imported to the UK, and then assayed in the UK, hence the British silver marks. A very rare item. Can be used as a caddy spoon or bonbon spoon. The profile of a woman on the handle. Based on the historical context, I imagine this might be a profile of Queen Victoria... Perhaps it was made as a commemorative item, or as a gift to the UK... A masterpiece that makes you feel a sense of history. As it is antique silver, there are scratches and minor imperfections, but we hope you will enjoy it as part of its history.
