Set of 16 demitasse spoons made of 835 silver, marked with "VKB," which stands for Van Kempen Begeer, a Dutch silverware manufacturer. 835 silver indicates that the item is composed of 83.5% pure silver. Van Kempen Begeer was based in Utrecht, Netherlands. The spoons feature a floral motif. Four of the spoons are duplicated so this was originally two sets of 12 and 16 are left (or the previous owner needed a set of 16 and added 4 additional). Demitasse spoons are 4.25 inches in length and the entire group weighs 159.7 grams. Selling as one group for one lucky collector. These are hard to find out in the wild and to find an entire group at once is unusual. Purchased at a high end estate sale in Chicago. Will ship USPS with tracking to winning buyer DC/AC
