Description:
An extraordinary pair of antique Japanese sterling spoons, believed to date from the Meiji period (circa late 1800s), from the storied Charlotte Waterhouse Collection. Each spoon features intricate traditional Japanese motifs—likely handcrafted during the height of Meiji export artistry.
Their refined elegance and precise detail suggest they were created not merely as utensils, but as objects of prestige—possibly intended for ceremonial or diplomatic use. While untested, the metal appears to be sterling silver, consistent with the standard of fine Meiji-era silverwork.
