Description from the seller

Elegant and fully matching set of six teaspoons in solid 800 silver, each measuring approx. 14.5 cm, total weight 122 g. All pieces carry the clear “800” fineness mark alongside the rectangular “E·K” maker’s mark of Prague silversmith Emil Kalivoda.

The design is refined yet understated, with slender handles and balanced proportions — a timeless Central European aesthetic that fits both classic and modern table settings.

Historical context:
Produced during the interwar period of the First Czechoslovak Republic, when a unified hallmarking system established 800 silver as the standard for quality household silver. Prague workshops such as Kalivoda’s supplied well-crafted, durable silverware to an increasingly sophisticated urban clientele.

Condition:
– Complete and uniform 6-piece set
– Light, age-appropriate wear and fine surface marks
– No major damage, deformation, or repairs
– All marks clearly legible

Why this piece stands out:
A fully matching and usable antique silver set from a defined historical period, bearing a clear maker’s mark. Combines authenticity, functionality, and restrained elegance — increasingly sought-after among collectors of Central European silver and design-conscious buyers alike.
