Antique Davis & Galt Sterling Silver Paisley Pierced Serving Spoon
A spectacularly ornate and large antique (late 1800s) Davis & Galt sterling silver pierced / slotted serving spoon in a paisley design, featuring an 1876 British India Victoria Empress rupee coin at the center, with a coin design of A/II 0/1 (Victoria Empress bust design A, reverse design II, and dot pattern 0/1). The hand-cut piercings on the slotted spoon bowl resemble a simplistic V-shaped tulip, with a circle of dots to add to the openwork. Most breathtaking, however, is the silver artistry displayed in the paisley handle, with flowers, scrolls, and the paisley pattern wrapped in acanthus fern — the detail is nothing short of amazing!
The spoon measures 9-1/2" long, with the bowl at 3-1/4" wide, and (if to be used) would serve peas or other simmered vegetables perfectly.
Marked with the Davis & Galt fleur de lis shield hallmark dating to approx. 1888 to 1896, and also shows the Rand & Crane retailer name, which was in business in Boston, Massachusetts, from circa 1886 until the 1920s.

I received my mugs today and I could not be happier. Packaged with great care, lovely card to say thank you, and all intact. They are better than expected, with the size I really wanted, thinner rim for sipping coffee and hot chocolate. I really have a thing for pottery mugs and these are great quality and wonderful drip glaze. Flashback Alley owner Holly is wonderful to work with, great communication, extra service all along. Thank you again! I love them. 
Seller was very nice and helped me through the registration and purchase process. Love the product and arrived quickly. Thank you! 
The packages of Royal Doulton tea cups and dinner plates arrived in perfect condition. I could not be happier with the merchandise. Holly is personable and cares about the quality of the product as well as the packaging. Holly is a pleasure to work with and I will be shopping at Flashback Alley in the future. I'm so glad I found Flashback Alley!
