Vintage set of 6 Czechoslovak 800-silver - Tea spoon - Prague 1920

A set of six elegant teaspoons, each approx. 14.5 cm long, total weight 122 g. Every spoon bears the “800” silver fineness mark and the rectangular “E·K” maker’s stamp attributed to Prague silversmith Emil Kalivoda. The design is typical of early 20th-century Central Europe: clean lines, tapered handles, and well-shaped bowl forms. Historical context: After the First Czechoslovak Republic was formed in 1918, a unified hallmarking system appeared in the early 1920s, with 800-silver becoming standard for everyday flatware. Emil Kalivoda was active in Prague in this period and produced well-crafted, reliable silver utensils for the growing urban middle class. Condition: – Complete 6-piece set, consistent size and weight – Light wear and fine surface scratches typical for age – No major dents or deformities – Maker’s mark “E·K” and “800” fineness clearly visible on all pieces A representative example of interwar Czechoslovak silver: practical, elegant, and authentically marked by a known Prague silversmith — a solid collectible of Central European craftsmanship.
