    Hi everyone,

    I picked up this small filigree sugar spoon, I don’t see any markings on it. Can anyone help with the time period it was made or possible country of origin?

    I love it, MrNate. I think it could be Russian.

    In some countries in Continental Europe silver filigree wasn't marked.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I like it... but a question: was this just for sugar cubes? Seems that granulated sugar would flow right through.

    It might be purely ornamental; some totally impractical spoons were made just for display.

    It may have been used to sprinkle caster or icing sugar over muffins, pancakes etc.

    Could it have been used for absinthe?

    I think it may have been just decorative.

    I wonder if it would work with a tea bag.. you know when you want to lift the tea bag out of the cup but let it drain.
    Probably way off base.
