AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique Russian Caviar spoon with engraved scoop and twisted handle, which is typical for eating caviar. This is a large caviar spoon

An impressive, antique and authentic Imperial Russian silver spoon, crafted to the traditional 84 zolotnik standard (875/1000), notable for its unusually large size and substantial weight. It has a length of 180 mm with a scoop of 44 × 15 mm. Such larger examples are less common and were often intended for serving delicacies such as caviar or honey, making this piece both functional and collectible. The spoon features a beautifully engraved bowl with decorative floral motifs and an elegantly twisted handle. The hallmarks are clearly visible and well-preserved, contributing to its desirability. The Hallmarks are bright and attractive (see photos). The spoon is in very good antique condition with only minor surface scratches. A striking and heavier-than-normal example of Russian Imperial silver, ideal for collectors or as a statement piece.
