~*~*~ Antique Sterling Silver Salt Spoon ~ Oval Bowl ~ FREE Shipping ~ GIN Available ~*~*~


This lovely antique sterling silver salt spoon measures approx. 2 3/8", features an oval shaped bowl and is intricately detailed - front and back - with a lovely rose pattern. It's marked Sterling. I haven't cleaned it, 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.

Pictures 2 & 4 show something red on the back of the handle that I didn't even see until I looked at the pictures I had used the macro function on. I gave it a little rub and the red came right off as you can see in the last two pictures ~ no damage or anything! :o) The pictures were taken with 2 different cameras. If you'd like another clear close-up of the back of the handle, I have to wait 'til my son comes home from Drill weekend to use his camera...

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.
