Hi,

I would appreicate if anyone can help me identify these 5 spoons. Anyone know who the manufacture is and or who the people are on the tops of the spoons? There is no markings.

Hi
The first spoon depicts the famous renessance sculpture "David" by Donatello.
This as a start.
Any marks on the spoons?
Regards, Jörg

They are quite common Italian souvenir spoons
You can find them in silver, gilded silver or even in silver plate.
The figures at the top refer to Italian works of art or to Italian historical figures.
I think they were made in the first half of the 900.



Best regards
Amena

Hi,
They are definitively Italian.I have examples with gondola finial and the same putti on the stem (Venice).
Statue finials were popular with souvenir spoons, the statues being either from antiquity (Ancient Rome) or saints.
Regards
