Sterling silver headed to Murrieta.
Dutch coffee spoon
Fabricated Sterling. Approximately 5 inches.
This one is pretty straightforward with the exception of the reticulated silver on the bowl.
The inside of the bowl has a little reticulation, but most of it was removed in the polishing.
That text is visible on this one.
It’s nicely dimpled.
Dutch coffee spoon (the six grandfathers)
Fabricated Sterling and 14k gold. Approximately 4 inches.
Another coffee spoon (see the earlier posts for the story). This one is symbolic. The four rings represent the cardinal directions; the top is the One above (the top of the handle with the gold of glory within); and the bowl represents One below (earth). A nice way to begin the day.
Dutch coffee spoons
Dutch coffee spoons, fabricated Sterling and 14k gold, approximately 5 1/2 inches.
These are the latest addition to the Dutch coffee spoon collection. They are meant to be “everyday” spoons, unique to the individual, and part of the morning routine.
The detail on the left shows the “vine” embellishment of one and the bowl of the other. On the right is the opposite end of each. This end is embellished with a 14 gold knob.
coffee spoon
Fabricated Sterling and 14k gold. Approx. 5 inches.
This is meant to be an “everyday” spoon, unique to the individual, and part of the morning routine. The bowl is polished on the front, and the forging marks remain on the reverse. The bowl is nestled in a square wire frame formed so the corner, rather than the side, of the wire meets. The end features a heavy, forged square with a 14k gold embellishment in its center.
Details.
t spoon
Fabricated Sterling. Approx. 7 1/2 inches.
The bowl is forged and I left the hammer marks as texture. The square wire handle twists tighter as it approaches the t end.
Details of the bowl, the t end, and the reverse of the bowl.
A few more angles highlighting scale and proportion. It’s long enough to use in a tumbler.
