Lot 1072
[Spoons]. A Collection of Oriental Collector Spoons. A fascinating group of spoons mostly in sterling, coin, or .800 silver. Many of the spoons feature exotically shaped or artfully crafted handles, from such places as Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, China, and Cambodia. Two of the Chinese spoons are set with jade, while another is decorated with a "pearl" in a cage. Other locales include New Zealand, with a Tiki figure carved in blue-green mother-of-pearl, and Greenland or Finland, picturing a parka-clad figure and a running deer in the gilt bowl. Rounding out the offering is a charming demi-tasse spoon in the Art Nouveau style and finally, an artistic, hand crafted piece in the Arts and Crafts style set with a luminous blue opal. Several spoons have been hand crafted and are quite handsome. A very intriguing lot, worth close inspection and a spirited bid.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
