Author	Topic: Unknown Pattern- Silverplate? Coin?
nautilusjv Posts: 253 Registered: Nov 2008	posted 03-20-2017 05:11 PM Hello everyone! Does anyone recognize this pattern- cherub? head terminals with twisted stem. Unmarked probably silverplate or maybe coin. And are they egg spoons? At 4.5" in length they are a tad short aren't they? Or maybe they aren't even American but continental and are demitasse spoons. And they are a bit creepy. Thanks! [This message has been edited by nautilusjv (edited 03-20-2017).] IP: Logged

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-22-2017 11:45 AM Your spoons seem to me to be art deco inspired and an Egyptian motif medallion would seem to be more in order than a cherub. I have seen some cherub incorporated into art deco designs, but I think it is harder to accomplish successfully. Interesting spoons that I would think were egg spoons, but could be used as demitasse spoons also. If they have a gold wash on the bowl I would think they started out as egg spoons. IP: Logged
