ABOUT PRODUCTID 11265
This pair of Polish tea spoons from the 1960s captures two distinct approaches to design characteristic of the era. Crafted from silver-plated brass, they feature matte, silvery surfaces—one spoon draws the eye with a raised rose motif on the handle and a heart-shaped bowl, while the other displays a minimalist form with a smooth, slender handle and a shell-shaped bowl. Both are defined by fine detailing: precisely shaped edges, carefully executed ornamentation, and a subtle satin sheen. The silvery color and varied textures reflect the eclectic tendencies of mid-century Polish utilitarian design. In hand, both feel solid and slightly weighty, as expected from metalwork of this period. Condition is very good, showing only minor traces of use and a uniform patina, with no damage or repairs.Each spoon tells its own story: the one with the rose motif and heart-shaped bowl evokes the atmosphere of romantic afternoon tea gatherings, when every detail of the service had a near-ceremonial importance. Its minimalist companion speaks to the restraint and functionality that were gaining ground alongside more ornate forms. Together, they form a dialogue of the era, where ornament meets simplicity and the everyday ritual of tea drinking acquires a celebratory note.These spoons can be paired with porcelain in subdued hues or with cups featuring 1960s geometric patterns to highlight their collectible value. They would look fitting on a classic wooden or metal tray, accompanied by a sugar bowl or creamer in a similar style. In a more eclectic setting, it is worth combining them with other vintage accents, such as glass cake stands or boldly patterned textiles, to emphasize their sentimental yet timeless character.
