Silver Spoons

These three spoons are an interesting adaptation of the Gothic Revival style which was very popular in the first decade of the 1900's.

Three plique-a-jour handmade spoons in the Gothic Revival style with interesting shell shaped bowls were manufactured by Barden Blake & Co. of Plainsville and Attleboro, Massachusetts. All of the spoons use cloissone style serrated wiring to separate the cells. The bottom spoon also has applied features. All of the spoons also have a minor amount of engraved decoration. American made plique is much rarer than European plique work.
