<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 9855527, member: 111"]Is it heavier than you might expect? Suspect it is mid to late 19th century English silverplate, and some were brass base, making them pretty weighty. Similar fruit/berry spoons were often sold in pairs or in sets with other pieces like sugar sifters, butter knives, etc. - can look through some period ads and catalogs in a bit, but finding an exact match may be near impossible. Unlikely to be silver, but XRF testing wouldn't hurt... </p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
