Norwegian Silver Teaspoon with Gold Leaf Drop
Here we have a very striking Mid-Century Norwegian 830 Silver Teaspoon with a gold leaf decoration. Typically of mid-century Scandinavian design it combines a simple form with elegant style. Above the plain bowl is a barley twist stem capped by a ball finial to which is attached a small gold leaf.
The teaspoon is made in Voss, Norway by the firm Sylvsmidja and dates to around the 1950s / 60s. Sylvsmidja was established in Voss in 1940 by husband & wife Leif & Betzy Johannessen just as Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany. Despite this, the company thrived after the war and is today regarded as the foremost makers of "bunad" silver, the traditional ornamentation of Norwegian national dress.
Condition is very good with no dings or dents and only the minimal surface wear you would expect after many years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The spoon is 12.5cm / 4.9" long, including the leaf and weighs in at 8.8g / 0.31oz.
The underside of the stem is stamped 830S for 830 / 1000 grade silver, the historic Norwegian silver standard and has the "J" shaped drinking horn mark for Sylvsmedja.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
Overseas customers please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
