Condition Report
Both spoons display general scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The caddy spoon displays further obvious wear with distortion to the shape of the bowl, crude repairs visible to the join of the mother of pearl and silver, the silver mount also split and chips visible to the handle terminal. The hallmarks are distorted due to position on the stem of the berry spoon however overall clearly legible.
