Description from the seller
Antique sugar sifter spoon (also known as a sugar sprinkling spoon or tea strainer spoon) with a shell- or flower-shaped perforated bowl.
This object is an antique sprinkling spoon (also known as a sugar sifter spoon, berry spoon, or sugar sifter spoon), a tea strainer characterized by an richly decorated handle and a perforated, shell-shaped bowl.
Thanks to the small holes in the bowl, it could be used to sprinkle fine sugar (such as powdered sugar or brown sugar) evenly over pastries, pancakes, or fresh fruit (such as strawberries and berries), while excess lumps were left behind.
Spoons of this kind were widely made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (the Victorian and Art Nouveau periods).
Small marks (hallmarks) that reveal the maker, material, and origin can often be found on the handle or the back of the stem.
