Wonderful items! Are there hallmarks? Yes, if these are solid silver that has been plated in gold and also enamelled, they belong in Sterling Silver. I love the salt spoons, and I am envious!
Hi MiKKO!! :) -
These are marked on the base of each 925S Sterling - Norway; and the spoons are stamped sterling as well! I believe guilded inside, and each has their glass inserts. Stamped with a pineapple mark, and stars; I used to know the maker; will have to think on it....... Glad you like them :) Thanks!!!!!
These are so cool. What fun! You need to have a dinner party immediately. I am available. ; )
Where did you find them? They are so fun.
Hi AmberRose; I know; these look never used; bought them at a sale; the gentleman had had lots of enamaled silverware; and these had not sold yet; couldn't believe it; snatched them right up! They used to set such beautiful tables in the day - just amazing the gorgeous things :) :) Thanks much!
You are welcome. Love your posts. Looking forward to seeing more!
Oh, and I try hard but have limited ability to set a gorgeous table. We entertain a lot and I steal ideas from the internet...so sad. No eye for it at all ; )
Still think these are fantastic!!
STUNNING:)
