A set of six sterling silver teaspoons and a matching pair of sugar tongs featuring an Art Nouveau influenced fan or shell terminal design. Each piece is constructed with fluted handles and a central ribbed band. The reverse of each spoon bowl bears a vertical set of four struck British hallmarks: a lion passant indicating sterling silver purity; the assay mark for Chester comprising three wheat sheaves and a sword; the date letter capital E in a square shield with clipped corners for the year 1905; and the maker mark J.H. & Co in a shaped shield for John Hall & Co.

The set is presented in its original black leatherette covered case. The interior lid is lined with cream silk, gold-blocked with the retailer and manufacturer details reading JOHN HALL & CO / SILVERSMITHS / 56, KING ST. MANCHESTER. The base of the case is fitted with navy blue velvet.
