C.1890’s-1920’s Late Victorian Era English Silver Plate Nautilus Shell-Shaped Spoon Warmer

Vintage: Late Victorian era, c.1890’s-1920’s English, silver plate, “nautilus,” shell-shaped spoon warmer, mounted on a rough hand-hewn, base to mimic rocks upon a shore line. A shell handle is attached to one end, in which to pick up to and fro, and have one’s guests pull out a warm spoon for serving; either during dinner, tea, breakfast service, or for that special occasion, and holiday, a mus! Silver plays such an importance and is also a reflection of one’s character and how one lives with simple and sophsiticated serving pieces in every day life, but for all occasions.
