Hello, I did a search on here for Toye of Toye, Kenning and Spencer but there seemed to be nothing at all. The spoon is 16g and has TOYE SILVER stamped in the bowl and has TOY & CO LONDON on the reverse of the finial. The front of the finial has two crisscrossing darts. I believe it to be a prom...

Great, thanks to everyone who helped me with this. My imagination is now wandering over souks and samovars!

Cheers,

Hello, I bought a spoon described as a Georg Jensen Acanthus Iced Teaspoon ( aka Dronning - what is Dronning? ). It's in very good condition and marked as in the pictures. According to the information given with the spoon, a Johan Rohde designed the Acanthus range in 1917. However my research into t...
