Listed items will not be marked down during the listing duration. This pattern was introduced in 1910 with the name Queen Ann, sometimes spelled Queen Anne. It was also made in a heavy grade for restaurant use, and sold with the name St. Moritz, after the premier hotel to use it as their signature pattern. The design is simple and refined, a Neo-classical feathering and banding. The humble teaspoon is the bedrock of all silver services. As the name implies, it is designed for use with cups of hot beverage. In old style living, the teaspoon does not get set on the table along with the forks etc. Instead, they live in a spoon holder in the middle of the table so whenever you need a spoon you just reach in and get one. Then, after stirring in the sugar and cream, wipe the spoon on your apron or napkin and return to the spooner. It is an old custom at the death of a lady to give each of her friends a spoon in remembrance. This is why one finds all sorts of odd assortments of spoons and sets with no spoons. The 12 teaspoons offered here measure about 6”. These are not pieces of new silver. They show the patina of as much as 110 years of careful use. There are the light scratches which constitute normal patina. There is a script LMT monogram on the front of the handle. Silver is softly lustrous. There is no silver loss. The pattern is crisp and clear. These spoons have been carefully used and well cared for. These spoons come in a flannel wrapper which helps prevent tarnish. I polish all silver before listing on eBay. Please email with any questions before bidding. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AUCTION DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.
