Francis I Reed & Barton Iced Tea Spoon 7 ¾- Half Dozen
FRANCIS I REED & BARTON ICED TEA SPOON 7 ¾- HALF DOZEN?? The Francis I pattern was introduced in 1908, after three years of design work by Ernest Meyer. His goal was to emulate the design work of a chief court artist and sculptor for King Francis I of France, Benvenuto Cellini. The pattern is in the Renaissance-Baroque styling, displaying fifteen fruit and flower designs paying tribute to Francis I throne entrance in the year 1515. A pattern offered this time in a HALF DOZEN of its ICED TEA SPOON 7 ¾, a vintage estate set in excellent condition looking hardly used if ever, smooth-to-the-touch butler finish with an aged patina enhancing its details, mirror no scratches, clean edges no nicks, no mono all stamped.
