<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 4365764, member: 12382&quot;]I&#039;ve have just acquired three silver spoons, which, according to my research, are sometimes described as &#039;caviar&#039; spoons.</p><p>They are quite attractive, although unfortunately, the hallmarks are not the clearest. </p><p>Although I generally collect porcelain, I couldn&#039;t resist these, although I may yet live to regret my decision to snap &#039;em up !</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d be grateful if any experts out there might be kind enough to help with a couple of questions I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>(i) Is there a specific name for the type of work seen in the centre panels on the underside of the bowl ? For example, such as the term &#039;relief cut&#039; for glass items.</p><p>(ii) Does anyone recognise the location depicted as being from a particular town or city (eg St. Petersburg) or is it more likely just a &#039;typical&#039; town scene.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure whether to hang on to these (as they are &#039;non-core&#039; items as regards my collecting) or whether to re-sell and use the proceeds for future purchases.</p><p>(iii) If I were to sell, am I right in thinking that it would be more sensible to sell the spoons individually over a period of time, rather than sell them together as a part set ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help will be most gratefully appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]364476[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]364477[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]364478[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]364479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]364480[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
