The pattern was introduced in 1936 in anticipation of the Coronation, and proved to be one of the most popular patterns ever put out. In fact, Coronation is occasionally still manufactured. The design, the result of a competition among design students at Rensselaer Polytechnic, is high style Art Deco. The pierced work emphasizes the motif of flower, leaves and rays of light set atop a columnar handle. Coronation is also a pattern that stands up very well to use. Sets rarely ever show any wear even after years of constant daily meals. The iced tea spoon is designed for tall glasses. It is used to agitate the liquid to keep sugar and other elements in suspension. Iced tea spoons came in at about the time that sanitary ice became available, in the late 1890s. Before that, most ice had been cut out of ponds and rivers, and was frequently filled with bugs and leaves, so it could not be directly in contact with food. Delivery ice was packed in sawdust, also not really suitable for beverages. So this kind of spoon is a product of the refrigerator/freezer era. The 8 iced tea spoons offered here measure about 7 1/2". These are not pieces of new silver. They show the patina of as much as 80 years of careful use. There are the light scratches which constitute normal patina. There is no monogram. Silver is softly lustrous. There is no silver loss. The pattern is crisp and clear. These spoons have been carefully used and well cared for. I polish all silver before listing on eBay. Please email with any questions before bidding.
