A set of six vintage teaspoons by Eetrite, finished in a lustrous 24-carat gold plating. These pieces feature a striking ruby red enamel inlay along the handles, framed by a delicate beaded gilt border and finished with a subtle trilobe motif at the tip.

The rich, deep red hue paired with the gold finish offers a regal aesthetic, making them a perfect accompaniment for an afternoon tea service featuring classic bone china.

Pair these teaspoons with the matching Eetrite 24ct Gold-Plated Cake Forks and the Heirloom Ruby Sugar Spoon for a fully coordinated heritage tea service.

Dimensions

- Length: 11.8 cm

Condition

- Very Good - These teaspoons are in very good vintage condition, retaining a high-lustre finish that reflects their quality and careful previous ownership.

Gold Plating: The 24-carat gold plating remains bright and consistent across all six pieces. There is very little of the "rubbing" or thinning often seen on the high points of vintage gilt items.

Enamel Inlay: The ruby red enamel is fully intact on every spoon, with no chips, cracks, or dulling. The guilloché-style detailing beneath the enamel remains sharp and vibrant.

Structural Integrity: All spoons are straight with no pitting or corrosion to the stainless steel base. The bowls are smooth and free from deep scratches or "flea bites."

Surface Wear: As is expected with authentic vintage pieces, there are light "whisper" scratches (micro-scratches) visible on the back, consistent with minimal use and gentle handling.

Additional Information

1. Design & Features
- These teaspoons showcase a refined mid-century aesthetic, blending the warmth of gold with a bold injection of colour.
- The slim, tapered neck leads to a rectangular handle housing the vibrant crimson inlay.
- The guilloché-inspired texture beneath the enamel allows light to catch the handle from various angles, creating a shimmering effect that mimics the depth of a gemstone.

2. Craftsmanship
- Eetrite is renowned for its high-standard plating process, and this set is no exception.
- Each piece is forged from durable stainless steel before being finished with a genuine 24-carat gold coating.
- The enamel application is precise, meticulously contained within the beaded gilt borders to ensure a flush, seamless finish that feels substantial yet balanced in the hand.

3. Uses & Versatility
While traditionally intended for tea service, the rich palette of these spoons makes them a versatile addition to any collection:
- Afternoon Tea: The ideal partner for floral-heavy porcelain or gold-rimmed teacups.
- Dessert Service: Sized perfectly for serving decadent chocolate mousses, panna cotta, or crème brûlée.

4. Care Instructions
To preserve the integrity of the gold plating and the lustre of the enamel, these pieces require gentle handling:
- Hand Wash Only: Avoid the dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high heat can dull the gold finish over time.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild dish soap.
- Dry Immediately: To prevent water spots and maintain the high-shine finish, dry with a soft microfibre towel immediately after washing.
- Polishing: If the gold appears slightly tarnished, a very light buff with a specialised jewellery cloth will restore its brilliance.
