History:
Caviar spoons, particularly those made from materials like mother-of-pearl, were a product of both luxury and practicality in the Edwardian era. During this time, caviar was not just a delicacy but also a symbol of wealth and sophistication, often served at high-society gatherings and formal dinners. The choice of mother-of-pearl for spoons wasn't purely aesthetic; it was also functional. Unlike metal, mother-of-pearl doesn't react with the delicate flavours of caviar, preserving its pure taste and ensuring an uncompromised experience for the discerning palate.
