I am 86 this is my own personal spoon collection I will list many different spoons have a moment take a look see- I want things to find a good home

This Listing - 1 - spoon only - theround bowl tea caddy spoon with what appears to be a lotus blossom I believe in the bowl - I may be wrong about the blossom type - the scoop Measures near 5 \" and weighs near at 16.5 grams with ornate handle, baring a symbol similar symbol too 福寿 a good fortune& long life& blessings a similar- Interesting historical spoon

The lotus flower is a power flower! ... revered in Japan a beautiful pure flower. This process symbolizes attaining enlightenment.

LotusChinese symbol of purityknown as a throne for the Buddha, lotus blooms in exquisite beauty -symbolizes perfection and purity of both heart and mind - represents long life and honor.

Silver Spoonsof early 1900s -purity can range from 925/100 - 800. - 875/100spoonhand-finished by craftsmen, the intricate floral design in bowls - quality-spoon , the silver hallmark on reverse of handle it is pre 1928 so no numerical equivalent is present. So silver grade feels like 950 but maybe as low as 875/1000 a derivative of sterling

Spoons at the time the Chinese motifs like a plum blossom or lotus, are \"good fortune,\" loose reference sincethree foreign countries were involved in this time period-like the Japanese 1895 victory over China& the1905 victory over Russia Russian So it is hard for me to define if it is Chinese or truly Japanese dating 1890 to 1928,

The soft, warm, original finish is present, with no buffing or machine polishing.

The excellent original condition and clear, crisp detail, with no repairs or alterations, especially attractive
