Buyer's Premium:

This set of silver-plated flatware is presented in its original fitted presentation case. The collection comprises one large serving spoon and several smaller dessert spoons. Each piece is constructed from polished white metal, likely silver plate, and features a tapered handle design. The handles are decorated with a series of engraved six-pointed star motifs. While incised text is present on the lower portion of the handles, the characters are not clearly legible from the provided images. The style and decoration of this set are consistent with the Grecian pattern manufactured for the Robur Tea Co Ltd.

The flatware is housed in a shaped presentation case with a blue exterior featuring a repeating white star pattern. The interior is lined with pleated white satin and incorporates purple velvet-covered blocks to secure the individual pieces. The case is finished with two brass-toned hinges and a front clasp.


Condition report:

The spoons are in good used condition, exhibiting a high-shine finish with visible surface scratches and minor signs of age-related wear consistent with use. The presentation case shows external scuffing and wear, particularly along the edges and corners, commensurate with age.
