Eetrite | 24-Carat Gold-Plated Teaspoons & Sugar Spoons | Rococo Rose Pattern with Porcelain Cameo Insets | South Africa

The teaspoons complete the table setting begun by the cake forks; the rose-terminal sugar spoon is a companion piece in a related but distinct pattern.

Matching the cake fork set listed separately, these teaspoons are from the same Eetrite Rococo rose-scroll range. Each spoon is the standard teaspoon form with an oval bowl; the terminal carries the same heavily embossed Rococo rose-scroll and foliate relief as the forks, with a bezel-set oval porcelain cameo inset depicting a pink rose transfer on white ground. The shank is plain and tapered. The 24-carat gold plate is even and bright throughout on all six spoons — bowls, shanks, and embossed terminals — with no visible tarnish, rubbing, or plating wear. All six teaspoons are in mint unused condition.

The sugar spoon set consists of two pieces in related but distinct patterns. The first matches the teaspoon and cake fork range: round bowl, Rococo rose-scroll embossed terminal, and oval porcelain rose cameo inset. The second is a companion pattern: a shell-fluted round bowl, a plain tapered shank, and a terminal modelled as a fully three-dimensional rose-in-bloom with acanthus leaf handle relief — no porcelain inset. Both sugar spoons are gold-plated throughout and in mint unused condition.
