Classic Silver spoon...ornate tailored elegance. Such a lovely decorative berry salad serving spoon. What a wonderful way to serve soft serve ice cream too! The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Berry Spoon as a large spoon with a broad deep bowl used in serving berries, salad and other juicy fruits. It is a Rogers International Silver Co Berkshire pattern circa 1897. It came from an estate and was a 25th wedding anniversary gift (25th Anniversary= Silver Wedding Anniversary) Silver has long been given as a gift to commemorate a 25th Wedding Anniversary. This lovely piece was cherished by Stella and Earl Lewis. A beautiful spoon that was a reminder of a beautiful day. The pattern is sharp and crisp and has deep, beautiful swirling cartouches and "Vines". It is an exquisite piece that truly demonstrates the silversmith's love of art and design. I'm looking at this piece sitting on the table and I am amazed at the artwork. This spoon would be lovely framed. It would be beautiful as a service piece intermingled with your other pieces and patterns. Tabletop setting is always so much more interesting with a variety of pieces and patterns. This is an "object of affection" to romance your table. This would be the special birthday, shower or tea party gift for that special someone who would love an indulgence and the idea of a more gracious time So very nice as a bit of vintage decor for your wedding.

Some History of the Rogers Silver Co.: Rogers Bros silver dates back to the early 19th century. They perfected a process for electroplating in 1847 which in turn made the company a household name. The original company was composed of the 3 Rogers Brothers but they were soon joined by other silversmiths who wanted the privilege of being associated with the name. Lots of companies formed, merged, separated, sold out and were absorbed by each other until today basically Rogers Silver is produced by the International Silver Co and Oneida Silver.
