Description
This is a gorgeous Russian gilt 875 silver serving spoon, with an intricate niello pattern on both the front and the back. Niello is a technique in which a black mixture of metals (usually copper, silver, and lead sulphides) is filled and fused into etchings or engravings and then sanded and buffed to a smooth finish. This spoon has beautiful niello decoration, depicting palm fronds and scrolls on the handle and a lush basket of fruit surrounded by foliage on the back of the bowl. The front of the bowl and the front of the handle are gilt.; This spoon measures 8" x 1 3/4". It bears the second Kokoshnik mark, indicating that it was made between 1908 and 1926. It also has the "X" mark, which means it was made in the Russian city of Don. The maker's mark is "C4". This spoon is in excellent condition and the pattern is crisp and clear.
