The bowl is richly decorated in high relief with a classic hospitality motif — pineapple, grapes, pear, and foliage — framed by a softly scalloped edge. The depth of the repoussé-style work gives the piece a strong sculptural presence and reflects the period’s elaborate decorative taste.

The handle is cast in a naturalistic twig or branch form, complete with textured bark detailing and openwork accents. This organic styling was popular in late 19th-century silver design and adds visual movement and charm. The contrast between the lush fruit bowl and the rustic branch handle makes this a particularly attractive example.

Measurements:
Handle (stem): 6 inches
Bowl: approximately 3.00 inches
Total length: 9.00inches

A striking and decorative serving piece — perfect for berries, fruit, or as a hospitality accent on a buffet table.

Unlike most silverplate berry spoons on the market, this example features unusually deep, high-relief fruitwork and a sculptural, naturalistic twig handle, placing it above typical decorative pieces in both craftsmanship and visual impact, which is reflected in the price. 

CONDITION.

Unmarked, consistent with many antique silverplate serving pieces of the period. The surface shows light, even wear appropriate to age, with a bright finish and no visible dents or repairs. Please review photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
