Case - Imported to the UK in 1897 and Assayed in Birmingham - Very Rare Indeed! Made at the end of the Nineteenth Century by the master himself, this listing is for 12 double-sided cloisonne enamelled spoons in sky blue with elaborate scrolling cloisons surrounded by white 'beads' on bowls. (This design is featured on the pages dedicated to David-Andersen on the site - highly collectible!!!) Each spoon measures approx. 9.7cms and is offered for sale in very good condition. (Some of the spoons have a minute amount of enamel loss to the heel in the 'v' shaped areas but this is barely noticeable to the naked eye...)
