Set of 6 Tilsit Captains Teaspoons

[legrandmogol]

I have a set of 6 12 Loth silver teaspoons by Tilsit Silversmith Johann Andreas Koschinski. They are pinprick monogrammed D. Roth 1822. I don't know if they qualify as captains spoons but they definitely have a nautical theme with a woman leaning on an anchor. They measure 6" long and are very light.

The woman leaning on the anchor is the traditional personification of Hope. It is not necessarily nautical: the anchor provides stability and security and thus became a symbol of hope. That said, it was a popular motif among sailors (and especially their wives) as a token of safe passage. Nice spoons!
