Just Desserts

The serving of dessert forms the theme of this summer’s selling exhibition at The London Silver Vaults, from 4 June to 30 September, presenting a deliciously tempting array of silver for sale, from a C16th silver seal-top spoon to a set of twelve 1960s Stuart Devlin silver and gilt sorbet cups.

From sumptuous summer pudding to simple fruit, sorbet or jelly, the best desserts deserve the prettiest means of serving. Silver tableware, of all periods from the 16th century to the contemporary, offers a splendid and wonderful variety of serving dishes, cutlery, wine jugs and goblets. Any item of silver will add a stylish flourish to a meal’s finale - the dessert.

Prices range from £15 for a tiny salt spoon to £23,500 for a rare Elizabethan drinking bowl.
