Twisted Handle Horse Spoons

Sourced at the charming Pissignano Antique Market in Umbria, this set of three antique 800-silver spoons carries the romance of old-world European craftsmanship. Each spoon features a twisted handle, that was popular in Germany and Italy from the late 19th to early 20th century. 

Sourced together as a trio, they offer an unusually cohesive feel for antique souvenir silver. They are perfectly sized for espresso, demitasse, or a small dolce moment at home. Display them, use them, or add them to a growing collection—their charm endures in any setting. 

The continental silver standard, denoted by the "800" mark, indicates a silver fineness of 800 parts per thousand (80% pure silver). This was a common and often the minimum legal standard for silver in many European countries, contrasting with the higher "Sterling" standard (92.5% pure silver) prevalent in the UK and USA.
