Maker: Holmes & Edwards Silver Co. (part of International Silver Co.)
Pattern: Danish Princess

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