Document source description
In plique-à-jour enameling, the metal base is either in a cage form or is pierced to make openings, which are then filled with enamel to create an effect similar to stained glass. This small spoon was made by the firm of Georg Adam Scheid, which was active in Vienna in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Scheid, a native of Germany who spent much of his life in Austria, specialized in the manufacture of items that often included precious metals like silver and gold as well as fine enameling—both of which are seen in this example.
