  Lovely and unique, these serving pieces hearken back to a stately time when set tables were showpieces... Marked with the 800 mark and styled in the a Hildesheimer pattern, these are classic pieces by German silversmith Antiko.
  
  A~The large server: marked 800 Antiko, 49 grams, 8 1/4" long, 2 1/8" wide
  
  B~The medium spoon: marked 800 Antiko, 25 grams 5 7/8” long, 1 3/4 inch at the widest.
  
  C~The small scalloped spoon:4 1/2 inches long and 1 3/16 inches wide, marked 800 Antiko, 16 grams.
  
  If you’re shopping around, watch out for Antiko pieces, this company also made silver plate. The pieces shown here are 800 silver, not silver plate. Antiko silver plate is typically marked 100, as are other European silver pieces.
  
  The story of the Hildesheim Rose, after which these pieces are patterned, delights me. The oldest known rose alive today, it has withstood wars and time. Rising 69 feet at the Hildesheim Cathedral, it's an inspirational point for the German nation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand-year_Rose
  
  I have guessed at the age of these pieces, but they are similar to others I own from this period. All herald from Germany. I have listed these together to save you on shipping. If you want just a couple of these, send me a note so that I can handle the shipping for you.
  
  A word of caution...many sellers advertise these pieces as 800 silver or 835 silver when they are silver plate. Be sure that you can see the mark.
  
  Since it's solid 800 silver, the standard for German silver, you don't have to worry about the finish wearing off with use. A simple polish removes any accumulating tarnish. (I prefer Hagerty Silversmith's wash with a tarnish preventative. Avoid using silver dips; they'll remove the lovely patina that gathers in the crevices to enhance the detail of these pieces.)
  
  No monograms.
  
  Commensurate with age, the condition of each of these pieces is very good to excellent.
