English enamel is so often well done:




Have been slowly acquiring the four colorways of Gorham's No. 360-363 enamel coffee spoons - they not particularly uncommon, but often have chipped enamel and/or loss of gilding, and sometimes sell higher than I'd pay (okay, I'm thrifty/cheap). The No. 360 (they're in order) has eluded me for some time, finally got it, in lovely condition, matte surface, engraved 'Chicago 1892' on reverse:

nice !!!
ya gotta have at least one with the Canadian Maple Leaf !!!!!

 

You have the most beautiful collection of spoons that I've ever seen.

I'm sure you have them displayed for all to enjoy, and probably you have shown photos of just how they are displayed in the past, that I either can't remember, or a post I just happened to have missed.

 

Such a pleasure to look at! Thank you.

 

Beautiful, Cheryl! My favourites are the Pforzheim and Norwegian spoons.

Such a gorgeous set, congrats on getting them all.
Those lovely Gustav Beran spoons come in different colours as well, I occasionally see them in auctions here. They are late 50s-early 60s, but still have that old Josef Hoffmann look.

 

Lovely set of spoons. Thanks for sharing.

 

Gorgeous. Glad you were able to complete the Gorham set.

Thanks for posting these beauties!

 

It's a nice old one too, I like Canadian enamels...

Thanks, Judy - I have some really nice pieces, but there are much better collections than mine out there.

All of my spoons are packed away at the moment, but after some renovations, will get them back on display - this was my dining room wall, also have another 60-spoon cade and half a dozen smaller open racks:




Stray spoons in the kitchen:

Thanks, AJ - The Paris spoon is very nice, and I'm loving the Norwegian piece, Hammer often used 900 silver, as well as leaving off their mark, will keep an eye out for the same design with a Hammer mark. Was tickled to get the Beran-designed spoon, it was basically a very cheap throw-in with a multiple order of non-spoon items - some of the other colors are more vibrant, but I'm always happy with blue (a yellow one is pictured on the cover of the 'Zeist Silver Work' book):

'Norwegian' spoon is Danish, a Peter Hertz pattern - one of my favorite makers, should have realized (though the '900' mark is atypical)...

Your collection is beautiful, Cheryl -- Thanks for sharing!

 

How did I miss this thread ??? Gorgeous collection,and Im overwhelmed by the amount you have ! With envy,of course .

 

Oh, Johnny - you have no idea. Used to cull to keep it at no more than 500, then I raised it to 600, then I had to stop selling, and then I stopped counting, and then Mom's spoons were added, and now I reckon it's around 1200, but fortunately at least half are in storage, so I can't count...

I always love seeing the wonderful spoons you get to add to your collection!!!

People are always asking me how many perfume bottles I have in my collection. My stock answer is always I have no idea, but when I have too many I will let them know.
