Assorted Sugar/Berry Spoons

A charming assortment of specialized silver-plated serving spoons, each representing a different American flatware pattern from the early 20th century. From a petite sugar spoon intended for the sugar bowl to larger serving pieces designed for fruit and other dishes, these spoons are wonderful examples of the highly specific tableware once created for the formal dining table.

Special-purpose serving pieces were an important part of American table settings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sugar spoons were made with relatively small bowls for transferring granulated sugar or sugar cubes, while larger berry spoons featured generous bowls suited to serving berries, fruit, desserts, and other dishes. Manufacturers produced these pieces to coordinate with their complete flatware patterns, making even the serving utensils part of a unified table service.

Georgian — Community Plate, c. 1912

A graceful sugar spoon in Community Plate's Georgian pattern, introduced around 1912. The long, slender handle has restrained neoclassical ornament, while the rounded bowl is appropriately proportioned for serving sugar. Examples of the Georgian pattern are documented as Community silverplate dating to 1912.

Ambassador — 1847 Rogers Bros., c. 1919

A sugar spoon in 1847 Rogers Bros.' Ambassador pattern, introduced in 1919. The pattern has a formal, streamlined character associated with early 20th-century American design, and the dedicated sugar spoon measures approximately 6 inches. This example bears an M monogram on the handle. Ambassador was produced from 1919 through 1973.

Memory — Wm. Rogers, 1937

A charming serving spoon in Wm. Rogers’ Memory pattern, introduced in 1937 and also known as Hiawatha. The softly sculptural bowl has a floral, organic form, complemented by an ornate handle with scrolling botanical details. Memory was produced in silver plate and included a variety of serving pieces designed for the formal table.

Heraldic — 1847 Rogers Bros., c. 1916

A substantial berry spoon in 1847 Rogers Bros.' Heraldic pattern, introduced in 1916. The pattern is particularly distinctive for its hammered surface and formal shield or crest motif, giving the handle a wonderfully substantial, almost Arts and Crafts-influenced appearance. Dedicated Heraldic berry spoons are documented at approximately 9 inches long.

The three make a lovely little collection on their own, but are equally useful in an everyday table setting. Mix them with antique silver plate, glass serving dishes, transferware, or a breakfast table arrangement for that collected-over-time look.
