A gorgeous set of 8 Art Deco red Bakelite muddler stirrer spoons, in their original silk-lined box. These silver-plated spoons form stirrers with flattened tips for "muddling" and a cherry red Bakelite ball finial that screams Art Deco. We believe these spoon finials to be Bakelite, although they haven't been tested. The cherry Bakelite tips are a bold cherry red (it was tough to capture their true vibrancy in photos). Truly a breath-taking set.
A popular drink in the 1920s and 30s was the Old-Fashioned cocktail which consisted of whiskey, water, sugar, bitters and a slice of orange. The contents were "muddled" in a glass. The muddler was often left in the old-fashioned glass and served. So why not serve your cocktails in elegance and style with these stunning Art Deco muddler spoons?!
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The silver-plating is vibrant overall (there's very minimal tarnish the buyer can polish away, if they choose to). The Bakelite red ball tips are in excellent condition (no crazing or cracks) and are still shiny (sometimes Bakelite gets a "matte" look over the years as it ages, these finial tips are shiny and pristine). The box is in great vintage condition and features an Art Deco gold detailing along the edges. The brass clasps close perfectly. Overall, this set of spoons is in great vintage condition and truly a stunning one.
Hallmarks: "ESPN Made in England" can be found on the back of each spoon
Measurements: These spoons measure approx. 4 1/2" in length
This set includes 8 spoons and 1 case
