Silver Sunday again - my favorite! These are silver items I have acquired since last Silver Sunday.
First up is this tiny little box with tiny little tongs. I think it is a pill box, but not sure.
I'm also not sure who this little figure is supposed to be.
There is a slot for the tongs behind the little figure, and a little box with a lid.
I put a quarter in the tongs so you can see how small it is.
This is one of my favorite finds...I love silver that has a gothic feel to it.This is a shot glass from Reed & Barton.
It has double devil-ish faces as the base.
Little one handled serving dish. In the center is an etched swan scene.
A peacock expandable trivet!
I love finding unexpected and unusual peacock items. I found this at an estate sale.
And last is this beautiful monogrammed ladle. It is Wildwood, 1908, pattern by Reliance Plate. I love this pattern.My giveaway is almost over, so if you haven't signed up, now is your chance...
I'm giving away this group of mismatched silverplate flatware (vintage, of course). For more info, and to enter, CLICK HERE.Linked up to Silver Sunday, hosted by Gypsy Fish Journal.

What incredible silver finds. The peacock trivet is spectacular, and it couldn't have found a more perfect home. The little pill box is certainly unusual. I've never seen anything like this. Tiny tongs! How interesting. Glad you found each of these and that you have shared them with us. Happy Silver Sunday Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great collection of antique silver! I like the shot glass very intresting. Have a good Mother's day...Julian
ReplyDeleteYour finds are absolutely delicious! I think the tiny box with tongs may have been used to serve the tiny artificial sweetner tablets that were used before Equal...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy a lovely day...
