I'm so glad to be back participating in Vintage Thursday Thingie hosted by Suzanne. This week I thought I'd share some family heirloom silver serving pieces from my mother's side of the family. These are truly beautiful Art Deco pieces.
These are a pair of serving spoons...notice the wonderful flowers engraved in the bowl of the spoons...
and the angled leaves on the handles.
Here's the mark but I don't really know what it means.
This is a little gravy ladle...it is really exquisite and the photographs just don't do it justice.
The bowl is fluted and the handle is curved so that it would fit nicely in the gravy bowl. Enlarge the photos to see the wonderful bird engraved on the front of the handle...
and the wheat stalks engraved on the back. (The dark is not tarnish-just a shadow caused by the curvature of the handle.)
Enlarge to read the mark on this little gem...why, of course, it reads Tiffany and Co.!
Hop on over to Suzanne's...that's at
Coloradolady to see more vintage treasures.

Lovely spoons, Miri. How fortunate you have them. Did you recently polish them? They look in perfect condition. The markings are not familar but the workmanship is exquisite.
Oh I love your silverware!
Those are very nice pieces of silver serving pieces. My eye also caught on the pretty crochet they are sitting on.
Those are nice pieces. I never saw serving spoons with designs on the bowls before.
so glad to see you back. I really like the gravy ladle.
Those are beautiful pieces! I love the intricate work on all of them.

Another example of why I love silver. Little works of art!
The silverware is beautiful, but the doily you have them on is spectacular! Where did that come from?
Lovely spoons! very distinctive. You might be able to find somthing on the markings on the web. Happy VTT!
those are truly lovely. thanks for sharing them here. i have never seen any so engraved.
these are just beautiful - the pictures never capture how nice they are. I recently found a slew of old hotel serveware that I need to clean up - very fun!
Oh my beautiful dainty treasures Miri, I love them!
Thank you for leaving a comment on my hair on my Family Friday post. Can you believe I wore it that high--well we all did. So glad it's a thing of the past. I do like your silverware-very pretty.
I love the designs! Thank you for visiting my blog!
Oh, these are just gorgeous!
Very pretty! And so well displayed. Thanks for sharing!
