I have attached photos of a set of twelve demitasse spoons by Gorham each marked with a different number from 53 to 64, Sterling, and the Gorham mark. They are gilded. Each spoon has a different full figured mythological figure. I have been researching for some time and cannot find it any where. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated IP: Logged |

Is this pattern considered rare or are they readily available? ------------------ IP: Logged |

Rare or not? I have seen it before. But it is difficult for me to say because they are not the sort of thing I look for or pay attention too. Maybe someone else knows better? IP: Logged |

Hi Karen. Sets of coffee spoons were very popular in the 1880s and 1890s, and many were produced. But as these are full figural cast spoons, I think they would have been more expensive and are therefore less common today than, say, the cheaper stamped and engraved pieces. As a dealer, I would consider this set more desirable than some of the other coffee spoon sets produced at this time. Also, it's a plus to have the complete set of twelve in such lovely condition. It's a nice set. IP: Logged |
