Silver filigree type spoon - no markings.

This piece came in one of the boxes of sterling flatware. I can find no markings of any kind. Are these usually not sterling? Is there any specific countries that are producing this style item?



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!!

 

Have seen a lot of older Italian silver jewellery made like this, always 800 silver. Not overly convinced this is either, just a thought.

 

Here is an old Ebay discussion about a similar type.

The link given in SIS's post is very informative regarding these types of spoons.

I was pretty sure this would not turn out to be sterling. I did not do too bad with the 2 lots though. There was a total of about 2 1/2 lbs. / 70 pieces of sterling with just 5 pieces included that were plate.

Thanks for the link SIS!!

It does make me sad to read posts from those I know are no longer with us though.
