19th C. Silver Plate Baby Feeding Spoon, W.M.F
This is a well made and practical 19th Century Silver Plate Baby Feeding Spoon. The spoon has a scalloped threaded stem. The egg shaped bowl is at right angles to the stem for ease of feeding. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The spoon was made in Germany by the famous company W.M.F and dates to between 1880 and 1886. WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik) was founded in 1880 when Straub & Sohn of Geislingen merged with Ritter & Co of Esslingen. The company was quickly successful and by 1910 was the largest employer in Wurttemberg and had offices in London, Vienna and Warsaw. They were very associated with Art Nouveau / Jugendstil style in silver plate and pewter. In the late 1920s they launched Ikora, a revolutionary type of plating that gave an enhanced finish. The company is still going strong today.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents, no plate loss and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after 140 years or more of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The feeding spoon is 13cm / 5.1ins long and 4.5cm / 1.8ins wide. It weighs 23.7g / 0.83oz.
The underside of the stem is stamped with the early W M F mark in use between 1880 and around 1886 along with the 90 in a square showing that it is good quality silver plate.
Shipping in the UK is £5 by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
