    Description
    NOTE: White spots and odd reflections is glare from refective surface.
    An antique Victorian / Art Nouveau sterling silver demitasse spoon featuring a striking silhouette portrait of a beautiful woman.  She has upswept hair and wears a flower blossom in it.  Handle and open top shape resemble a calla lily or similar flower / plant.   Background of portrait has radiating lines in it, again similar to blossom veining.  Not sure if this is from a famous actress or historic woman series or not.  A beautiful little spoon.   Likely French.  Marked on back STERLING SILVER, DEPOSE'.   Hand marked on back handle stem with X/20 if I'm reading it right.
    Light gilt remains on bowl, or perhaps its a special soft looking finish, lovely.
