Reed Barton Francis I Sterling Silver Salt Spoon Genuine Limpet Shell Bowl 32.8g. Pattern: Authentic Reed & Barton Francis I, arguably the most iconic and ornate American sterling pattern. Unique Bowl: Features a natural, iridescent Limpet shell bowl, a rare departure from the standard silver-cast bowls. Artisan Joinery: The shell is meticulously attached to the heavy sterling handle with two solid silver rivets. Substantial Weight: Weighs a significant 32.8 grams, giving it a very high silver-to-size ratio. Hallmarks: Fully hallmarked on the neck with “Sterling” and the Reed & Barton maker’s mark. Integrity: The silver-to-shell connection is firm and stable; the rivets have not loosened over time. Shell Quality: The natural shell is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks; it retains a high pearlescent luster on the interior. Silver Finish: The handle exhibits crisp, deep detail in the fruit and floral chasing. It currently has a rich, dark patina in the recessed areas which defines the pattern beautifully. Monogram: This piece is clear of any monograms or signs of previous monogram removal. Surface Wear: Exhibits light, honest surface wear and micro-scratches consistent with a well-cared-for antique.

Custom made pieces are made from an original piece in your pattern that are not otherwise available or difficult to find on the market, especially in discontinued patterns. Hollow handle items are made from an original handle in your pattern with a new stainless implement. Then the piece is hand-finished by a highly skilled silversmith in the USA. Now that many sterling patterns have been discontinued, custom pieces have become a staple in the sterling silver industry and are widely offered by mainstream sterling flatware dealers. Why isn’t a Hollow Handle piece marked/stamped in any way? Yes, the hollow handle is sterling and a genuine handle in your pattern, even though it is not usually stamped. Hollow handle items were usually not stamped due to their hollow construction. Family Owned & Operated. Customer service is the foundation of all that we do.
