French Silver Cake Slice with Gilt Blade
About the Item
This very attractive French silver cake slice, or dessert spoon, features an embossed silver handle and a silver gilt blade which is very slightly dished. The blade is decorated with hand engraved lines to the outer edge of the front which were done prior to it being gilded. The blade also carries the makers stamp for Auguste Girard of Paris. The French silver mark showing the head of Minerva is stamped on the handle where it joins the blade. The stamp fails to show the fineness of the silver, whether it is 925 parts per 1000, or 800 parts per 1000, so I will assume 800 parts per 1000. The length is 300 mm (11.75 inches), the width 60 mm (2 3/8ths inches), and the thickness of the handle is 12 mm (.5 of an inch). It weighs 122 gms (3.9 troy ounces). It is in very good condition and would date from around 1900.
