Description
NOTE: White spots and odd reflections is glare from refective surface.
An antique Victorian / Art Nouveau sterling silver demitasse spoon featuring a striking silhouette portrait of a beautiful woman.  She has upswept hair and wears a flower blossom in it.  Handle and open top shape resemble a calla lily or similar flower / plant.   Background of portrait has radiating lines in it, again similar to blossom veining.  Not sure if this is from a famous actress or historic woman series or not.  A beautiful little spoon.   Likely French.  Marked on back STERLING SILVER, DEPOSE'.   Hand marked on back handle stem with X/20 if I'm reading it right.
Light gilt remains on bowl, or perhaps its a special soft looking finish, lovely.
Pre-owned beautiful antique condition.  No visually obvious scratching, dents, dings or damage.  I have not polished this and leave that to new owner as desired, some tarnish naturally.   The silver has beautiful coloring !  Very modest, less than age appropriate wear.   Please view all pics, many given, and read full description.
Measures approx. 4-7/8" long.  Weighs approx. .32 oz / .29 troy oz.
I am listing another souvenir / specialty demitasse spoon from the same estate, same series it seems, featuring a different beautiful woman's portrait, see last pic.  This is for 1 only, the one featured & on viewers left in pic of both.  I can combine shipping if you purchase both, just wait for my combined invoice BEFORE paying, thanks.

INSURANCE & DELIVERY CONFIRMATION (or Signature if over 0.00) is INCLUDED in the shipping & handling fee. Some items ship for a flat rate 1st class fee.  Otherwise see shipping calculator above for shipping cost to your zipcode, Priority or Parcel are options, which you choose at checkout.  I charge a small handling fee to cover or in most cases just help to defray the cost of packing supplies so that your item will arrive safely.   USPS Parcel shipping cost may be lower than Priority but PARCEL IS SLOWER THAN PRIORITY, it can take up to 2 weeks (10 business days) for delivery in some cases.  Shipping & handling costs is buyers responsibility.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  I rarely ship internationally, when I do the following applies.   Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.  I do not mark merchandise below value on customs forms or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. I am not responsible for a timely delivery due to varying International customs delays.
