YES, I just auctioned the sister to this spoon ~ so here's your chance if you missed out on the first one!

This lovely antique sterling silver salt spoon measures approx. 2 3/8" and is intricately detailed - front and back - with a lovely floral pattern. It's marked Sterling and there seems to be a symbol in front of that but I can't make it out, not even under a magnifying glass. It hasn't been cleaned, the patina of age is gone once it's cleaned. When you win the auction, if you prefer that I clean it, let me know and I'll do that before I mail it.

A few hundred years ago salt used to be served like sugar in an open bowl. These salt bowls were quite small and meant for only one person to use. As a result there were several on the table during a Victorian dinner party. These salt bowls were called salt cellars and they required tiny silver salt spoons to extract the salt. These spoons were usually no more than 3 inches long with a bowl that measured around ½ an inch to ¾ inch across. Each sterling silver salt spoon was ornately decorated.
