Vintage Art Deco St. Anthony of Padua with Jesus Apostle Saint Spoon Catholic Italy
This is a 1930s-1940s vintage Art Deco spoon with a finial of St. Anthony of Padua on a pedestal holding Jesus in his right arm. He is easily identified by his classic iconography: wearing a Franciscan friar's habit with a tonsure haircut, and tenderly carrying the infant Jesus in his arms. Since it is made of all silver metal with no brass or other metal coming through it is likely made of either a very, very heavy silver plate or continental 800 silver with a worn marking from Italy. There is no visible maker mark or silver purity mark. There is however a worn mark on the pedestal holding St. Anthony of Padua which is not legible. Likely the area of Italy where the spoon was made. These saint and apostle spoons were popular Italian souvenir spoons in Italy in the early century. This one measures 4 1/4" tall north to south by 1/4" across the top east to west by almost 3/4" across the bowl of the spoon. Overall condition is excellent. No damage or repair. No deep scratches.

Antique 1900-1910 Edwardian Art Nouveau Czech Amethyst Molded Glass Stickpin Hatpin Jabot Stick Pin
Large antique Edwardian Art Nouveau molded amethyst Bohemian Czech glass large button style stickpin with a rose cut black jet glass center. Size is 3 5/8" tall from top of amethyst glass head down to pin point. The glass head measures just about 1 1/2" across in diameter. The molded amethyst glass has an intricate, multi-layered geometric pattern, giving it a textured look. It also has delicate bead accents around the border and faux-pierced details around the center stone in order to mimicking the fine metal work of the Edwardian era. The center holds a round rose cut black jet glass paste stone indicative of its age and also made of original Czech art glass. The pin itself is hand crafted with the rod being deeply set into the head; if you hold it to the light you can see that the rod goes very deep into the glass. The rod has a little sway but does not come out? Possibly intended by the maker so it could be used on thick overcoat without any chance of breaking the rod off the amethyst glass. Or it has come a little loose over the years. When the rod is pulled, it is still very strongly attached. You can see the rod was originally set into the glass with jeweler's bench cement which was made primarily from natural flake shellac. This cement was prevalent among jewelers during the Edwardian era as it would strongly hold the item and waterproof it at the same time and it is still used today. It is all original and has not been altered or modified. The glass head is in excellent overall condition. No gauges, cracks, chips or breaks. The metal rod is also excellent but has some age wear. This is a gorgeous example of early Czech art glass for your antique jewelry and stickpin, hat pin, jabot collection.
