Floral silver spoon, ISC, 1990s.
A spoon reimagined as a botanical gesture.
This silver-plated piece, shaped like an unfolding flower, transforms a utilitarian tool into a sculptural reflection on growth and form. The handle extends with quiet intent, while the bowl flares into petal-like curves—capturing the instant a bloom turns toward the light.
Produced in the 1990s by the International Silver Company, this piece reflects a late-century return to ornament and symbolism — a quiet resistance to pure utility. Here, floral form is not just decoration, but an embodied metaphor: of nourishment, delicacy, time’s unfolding — the cycles embedded in everyday use.
