This large and ornate sterling silver berry spoon is heavy and deeply embossed with a fruit design. The spoon has the hard to find Kings Pattern and was made by Bailey & Co. Well-known silversmiths of Philadelphia, in the 1860s. The bowl has a serrated edge and a deeply embossed fruit design. The handle has a twist pattern and wide top, where a three-letter monogram is etched. It has hallmarks on the back and the name BAILEY & CO. The spoon measures 9.25″ long and the bowl is 3″ by 2. The spoon weighs 67 grams. It’s in remarkable condition for its age, with just a little tarnish. It should polish up nicely, but I have not done this, knowing that many of my buyers prefer to do that themselves, or leave as is.
