Estate Collection Sterling - Demitasse Spoons Vintage Set of Six

These spoons are specifically designed for demitasse service, typically measuring between 3.5 and 4.5 inches in length. They are perfectly proportioned for small espresso cups or tea service.

To preserve the finish, hand wash the spoons with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the silver and any potential patina.

While they are in excellent vintage condition, they are fully functional and can be used for daily espresso or tea service. However, because they are genuine sterling silver, they will require occasional polishing to maintain their luster.

Yes, the original velvet pouch is excellent for storage as it helps prevent scratching and minimizes exposure to air, which can accelerate tarnishing. We recommend keeping them in the pouch when not in use to maintain their historical value.

Authentic sterling silver pieces are typically hallmarked with a '925' stamp or a maker's mark indicating the silver content. You can inspect the back of the spoon handles for these small engravings, which confirm the material's purity.
