Silverplate baby spoon with curved handle in 'La Vigne' pattern by 1847 Rogers Bros.

1847 Rogers Bros. was founded in Hartford, Connecticut, and became one of America's most prestigious silverplate manufacturers. The company's 'XS Triple' marking indicates extra heavy triple plating, a superior quality designation that ensured durability and longevity. The 'La Vigne' pattern, introduced in 1908, features elegant grapevine motifs that were popular during the Art Nouveau period. These curved-handle baby spoons were specifically designed for feeding infants, with the curved shape allowing caregivers to comfortably reach a baby's mouth. They were often given as christening gifts or birth presents and became cherished family heirlooms passed down through generations. Collectors of vintage flatware, antique baby items, and American silverplate highly value 1847 Rogers Bros. pieces for their exceptional craftsmanship and historical significance. The 'XS Triple' designation makes these spoons particularly desirable, as they represent the highest quality silverplate production of the era. These pieces appeal to collectors who appreciate early 20th-century decorative arts, domestic history, and the sentimental value of Victorian and Edwardian-era baby items.
