Because no place is more wonderful than home and there is no greater comfort than a meal at the family table. A perfect hostess or housewarming gift - or a lovely treat for your own family table. This antique silver serving piece is hand stamped with the family name and year established.

This listing is for one personalized Family Name spoon. Coordinating tableware is available in the shop, please stop by and take a peek-- ProseAndPolish.etsy.com

- The serving spoon measures approximately 8 1/2 inches.
- As it is genuine antique silverware, it should be hand washed.
- The pieces shown in the listing photos are examples of my work. The silverware that you receive will be just as beautiful, but the silver pattern may be different than the one that is pictured. Every piece created is unique.

Prose & Polish offers upcycled and repurposed vintage silverplate flatware. Each piece created is truly vintage - carefully curated through estate sales, antique shops, and auctions. They aren’t perfect, they will show their age — but their age and history are part of what makes them beautiful ❤ Once home, they are carefully cleaned and polished by hand. The sentiment is stamped letter by letter into the silver with a hammer and anvil.

Hand stamping is a very old craft, done with a hammer, anvil and steel stamps. Each letter is hammered individually into the silver. There may be slight variances in the spacing and depth of the lettering. It is intentional and yields a hand crafted, artistic look befitting the vintage silverware. Hammering into the front of the silverware will leave a small mark on the back. This is not a defect, but rather a sign of a well crafted piece — like the knots on the back of embroidery or the stitching on the back of a quilt. I hope you see this and know that every letter on your silverware was lovingly placed there. May it bring joy to your table!
