Taiping Sterling Child's Set

Description

We have had a hard time finding other examples of this beautiful children's eating set.   Marked Taiping Sterling on the bowl, we assume it was for export and that Taiping was the region it was made. The utensils are simply marked sterling.  If you have information on Taiping silver, we would love to know.
All three pieces are engraved with an S.  In wonderful vintage condition and it was used by "S" as you can see the marks made while learning to feed themselves!
The bowl is is 4 3/8" wide (with a 2 3/4" base) and stands approx. 1 1/2" in height.  Weight is a hefty 148.4 grams (which would keep it from moving!)
The spoon is 5" long and weighs 23 grams.
The food pusher is 3 1/2" long - the "pusher" at 3/8" tall and 3/4" in width at the base.   It weighs 19.6 grams.
Based on customer preference, we only lightly polish our silver.
Please ask questions prior to bidding.
