Great set 6 Tiffany Co Russian Pre-Revolution Gilt Silver Colorful Enamel Spoons


Presented is a lovely set of 6 Russian pre-revolution gilt silver and enamel
spoons. These spoons were made for retail by Tiffany & Co, and come with
their original fitted Tiffany & Co storage case. The backs of the spoons are
richly decorated with an asymmetrical floral design in dark blue, light blue,
white, green and red. The floral design is beautifully detailed, with fine
ropetwist texture borders in gilt silver between all the colors of enamel and a
richly textured finish to the gilt silver background. The handle is likewise
decorated at the end with teardrop designs in dark blue, green, and light blue
enamel. The spoons come in a grey case with grey satin lining and a little
locking mechanism in the front.

Each spoon is stamped with the Russian 84 zolotnik hallmark guaranteeing 875
purity silver, a maker's mark possibly for Grigory Sbitnev, and what is likely
an export mark containing a delta for the city of Moscow. The interior of the
lid of the fitted case is signed Tiffany & Co.

This set of spoons is in great condition. The enamel is in great shape. There
are no splits, no dents, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs. The
fitted storage case is in good shape, with some minor exterior wear, but it
still shuts and latches nicely and is overall clean.

Each spoon is about 4 1/4 inches long.

The total weight for the set is 99 grams.
