A giant antique silver serving spoon with a large bowl. Rat tail pattern. Weight 164 grams, 5.2 troy ounces. Length 36 cms. Bowl 13 x 7.7 cms. Marked on the reverse with continental silver marks “A” in a triangle and the silver grade “12”*. Probably German, 18th century.
*The previous system of antique German silver marks was based on different town marks symbols and the silver fineness was indicated in “loth” (12 loth corresponding to 750/1000, 13 loth = 812/1000, 14 loth = 875/1000, 15 loth = 937/1000)
This silver spoon is in good condition with no damage or restoration. The bowl is not thin, it has a few minor dinks from use over the years.
