Know before you buy
This is a small serving spoon, ideal for condiments, sauces, or smaller side dishes. Its compact scale makes it a versatile piece for both formal table settings and everyday dining.
This piece is crafted from solid sterling silver. It is not silver-plated, meaning the material is consistent throughout the entire spoon.
The lightly hammered surface is a signature design element that adds texture and depth. While it is beautiful, it requires standard sterling silver care; use a soft polishing cloth to maintain its luster and avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the finish.
Yes, this spoon is part of the 'Continental' pattern, which was Georg Jensen's debut cutlery collection from 1906. It is a historic design that reflects the brand's early Nordic-inspired aesthetic.
To preserve the integrity of the sterling silver and the delicate hammered texture, we recommend hand-washing this spoon with mild soap and drying it immediately with a soft cloth. Dishwashers can be harsh on vintage silver and may cause premature tarnishing or surface damage.
