Victorian Sterling Silver Bonbon Spoon. This beautiful spoon is made from high gauge sterling silver. It has a shallow, shaped bowl with a figure of a woman carrying 2 pails on a yoke to the centre and backed by pierced trellising. The edges are ornately decorated with scrolls and feathering. Rather unusually, the terminal is in the form of the coat of arms of the town of Dartmouth in Devon with the towns name engraved underneath. This was clearly a souvenir of that place. It is hallmarked for Birmingham 1898 with the makers mark of George Unite. I believe that this spoon was intended for scooping and serving bonbons or nuts. This spoon is in beautiful condition with no dents, kinks or damage to the piercing and the decorative detail is wonderfully crisp.
