Danish Princess arrived in 1938 and became one of Holmes & Edwards' most beloved patterns — the handle ornamented with a delicate foliate scroll that never quite goes out of style.
This gumbo spoon is the larger of the two soup spoon sizes, with a round bowl suited for chunky soups, stews, chowders, and bisques. It holds its own at a properly set table and doubles beautifully as a dessert spoon. Stamped "Holmes & Edwards / Inlaid." A single statement spoon in a discontinued pattern can be more useful — and more interesting — than a matching set from the store.
A lovely small gift for a soup lover, a collector of inlaid silverplate, or anyone who appreciates the quiet pleasure of beautiful everyday tools.
