Period

This elegant caddy spoon, crafted in Danish sterling silver, features the celebrated Acorn pattern designed for Georg Jensen. The spoon is characterized by its deep, rounded bowl and a tapering, faceted stem that showcases a refined, minimalist aesthetic typical of Scandinavian modernist design.
The stem culminates in distinctive scrollwork shoulders and a crown-like terminal, which is topped with a decorative acorn finial. This piece exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship associated with the Jensen house, balancing functional utility with ornate, organic-inspired detailing. The spoon measures 10.2cm in length and has a weight of 24.8 grams. It is stamped with the maker's mark and the inscription 'Sterling Denmark', identifying its origin and composition.
As a twentieth-century item, it remains a notable example of modernist silverware, reflecting both the historical roots of the design and the enduring quality of the silver work produced under the Georg Jensen brand.
