Georg Jensem Spoon

[Pooka]

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 the Georg Jensen silver mark on the spoon, appears to denote the spoon was made post-1945, which is odd. Can anyone confirm or give new information or give me links to further research?

Below the Georg Jensen mark, in a dotted oval, is written STERLING DENMARK. Length 95mm, width 6mm and weight 8g.

Many thanks,

Greg.

Hi - welcome to the forums. It was designed by Rohde in 1917, but Acanthus aka Dronning (Queen) was in production for many decades, though it doesn't seem to be a regular stock item anymore. An iced tea spoon should have a long slender handle and would about twice as long - at that size and form, yours was most likely sold as a mocha or demitasse spoon.
