Elegant Victorian ‘butter’ knife features a lustrous mother-of-pearl handle and sterling silver ferrule hallmarked (THB crown lion g) in Sheffield, England. The silver-plated steel blade is beautifully hand-engraved with an intricate floral design and is stamped. It measures 6⅝” and is in excellent condition. Perfect for dessert service, afternoon tea, or display for just $35.

B (images 1, 2, 4) Antique - beautifully chased Sugar Spoon: Unique floral engraving on the spoon bowl, with iridescent Mother of Pearl handle. The hand-hammered design is one-of-a-kind. EPNS appears on the column in a very ornate, gothic font, dating this spoon circa 1890. The detailed reed ferrule (collar) could be sterling silver although it is not stamped. Measures 5⅞”L x 1”W. Sterling silver and silver plate ferrules were used quite often in the Victorian era when these types of handles were very fashionable. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this piece showcases the timeless beauty of pearl handled flatware. Offered for $30.

C (image1, 5) BIRKS Regency Plate (Silver-plate handle; Stainless blade) 6¾” lifter – very cute! “Old English” pattern. $20

D (image 1) Antique 6½” Butter Spreader (York) Heavy, weighed handle with a tiny French hallmark. (square cartouche with flower – late 19th century) $15
E (images 1, 6) Antique 1910 silver-plated 6½”L x 1¾”W sauce ladle in the ‘Fiddle-tipped’ pattern. Hallmarked “IY & S” – Israel Yudelman was a Russian Jewish silversmith who operated in Sheffield, England (1905 to 1925). The ‘& S’ (& Son) mark started in 1909. This 115 year old solid piece is $15.

F (Images 1, 7) Two antique ‘twisted handle’ butter knives, often referred to as "master butter knives," were a hallmark of late 19th century formal table settings. The signature twist in the handle was more than just decorative; it was a functional design choice that allowed the knife to rest upright on its edge, preventing the blade from touching the tablecloth.
FYI – ‘butter knife’ (pointed edge) is a serving tool used to move butter from a central dish to a plate; vs. ‘butter spreader’ (round top) is an individual utensil used at each place setting to apply that butter to bread.
Stamped: Brazil Silver (7” with ‘F’ monogram) and Nickle Silver (Ornate 6¾”). Both classy conversation pieces for $25.
