These coffee spoons were sent to my great grandparents from a relative in Norway after they had immigrated to Iowa from Bergen, Norway. They are in the original box (I believe the lining is silk), with an old note from a great Aunt of mine that says they were sent to my great grandparents from Norway around the turn of the century. They are inscribed with their initials. They used them when they had coffee guests. They are very delicate silver spoons, 5 1/2 inches long with a 'pointed' spoon. They have the BH 830 S mark on the back of the stems. If my camera was in working order, I would love to send a picture! My Aunt, who died at age 96 six years ago, wanted me to have them. She had kept them in a drawer for decades.
I am trying to get a picture. The Minton Milk Pitcher is 6 1/2 inches tall and 6 inches wide at the base. It is the Minton "Grape Cluster" pattern. The overall pitcher has the purple hue. The year cypher on the base looks like the cypher for 1881. There is a small crack running through it. It's a beautiful piece of porcelain, with a couple of cracks., but no knicks. My great grandmother purchased the pitcher in Scotland, and brought it with her when she came to the States.
I don't have a picture at the moment, but it is the "Cupid Awake" - in the original oval frame - 8" X 10", #1898 published by the Taber Prang Art Co in Springfield MA.
