This stunning antique sterling silver souvenir spoon was crafted by Redlich & Co. around 1895–1900. Designed with intricate hand-applied enamel work, this piece is a symbol of good fortune and sentimentality from the early 20th century. The spoon's handle features a vibrant green four-leaf clover, a universally recognized symbol of luck, along with delicate blue forget-me-not flowers and an elegantly intertwined blue enamel ribbon. The inscription “GOOD LUCK” is beautifully integrated into the design, reinforcing the theme of prosperity and well-being.

This particular spoon, with its enamel detailing and engraved date, is an extraordinary example of how fine silverware was used to celebrate important life events and sentimental connections.
Redlich & Co. was well known for its elaborate silverware, repoussé designs, and artistic flatware, making this spoon a desirable collector's item. Today, Redlich pieces, especially those featuring intricate enamel work, are considered highly collectible and valuable.
