enamel spoon
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2007 8:14 pm
Hi. I have a spoon with enamel work. It is marked on the back with 800, a stamp of a fir or pine tree, and what looks like a bird with the letter c or m through it. This stamp is difficult to see even with a loop.
The enamel is on the bowl of the spoon and the figures are of bacchus and a satyr. There is finely detailed enamel work on the shaft and at the very end of the spoon is a turquoise color fully shaped urn with more satyr shaped figures going around the circumference of the urn. Quite a bit of work was involved in the making of this spoon.
Please give me some guidance as to where to look.
I apologize...I have no camera to take a photo.
thanks.
