    Description

    This is a set of 4 demitasse spoons.  They are all ANTIQUE because the silver fineness mark is a Loth mark.  It is hard to read.  The main mark is "13" and the usual Loth mark is 13 1/4 for silver fineness.  This is approx. 83% silver.  Loth marks were use PRIOR TO 1892 so these spoons were produced in the 1850 to 1885 range.  All spoons were washed in gold and this is still visible in the bowls of the spoons.  All spoons were made with a twist handle topped with a ball decoration.  The maker's mark is KH.  There is another mark that was used by the city of Bergen, Norway in the 1870's.  I believe these were all made in Bergen during that period.  One spoon has a couple of "dents" in the bowl - please see pictures.  One spoon has a small dent in the ball on top of the handle - again please see pictures.  All spoons measure 4 3/4 inches in length.   These spoons are in excellent condition for their age.  Ship to US only by USPS.  International ship by Ebay Global Shipping.
