Victorian Silver Shell Spoon Warmers
About the Item
19th century Victorian silver plate spoon warmers in the shape of nautilus shells resting on a bed of sea rocks ending with an ornate shell design. Originally the lids opened up to dip the spoons into hot water with the exception of one that is a fixed lid.
They vary from ornate ferns to clovers or graphic lines that conform to the shape of the warmer. Some warmers are signed or have reg numbers and are attributed to Sheffield or Mappin and Webb. Each varies slightly in size. Today, they make fabulous vases or centerpieces.

From Mappin & Webb site:
Mappin & Webb is a true British treasure with over 240 years of tradition and historical significance in the world of silver and fine jewellery. Renowned for combining timeless craftsmanship with superior quality and contemporary design, we have produced exquisite fine jewellery, elegant silverware, watches, glassware and the unique lifestyle accessories that have long been at the heart of affluent British society.
It’s a story that began in 1775, when Jonathan Mappin opened a workshop in Sheffield. His mission was to create the most beautifully crafted silverware for British society.
Over the immediate years that followed this would see the company expand internationally, receive Royal Warrants and commissions from Monarchs around the world, and become synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and all things truly British.
The Early Years: A Family Partnership.
Within a year the first Mappin hallmark was recorded at the assay office and in 1780 Jonathan Mappin was given the Freedom of the Cutlers Company. The ‘Cutlers Company of Hallamshire’, to give it its full title, was incorporated in 1624 to provide jurisdiction over those making cutlery near Sheffield and to promote Sheffield as a place of expertise.
