Sterling Silver Demitasse Spoon – Mosquito Motif – Cattail Handle – Twisted Stem – Double-Stamped “Sterling” – 4” Antique Spoon
$85.00
This charming and unusual 4-inch sterling silver demitasse spoon features a wonderfully detailed mosquito engraving in the bowl paired with a highly distinctive cattail-form handle. The top of the handle is shaped like a raised, textured cattail head—an uncommon and beautifully naturalistic design element rarely seen in small silver. The twisted stem further enhances the organic, hand-wrought aesthetic. The spoon is double-stamped “STERLING” along the side of the handle.
