Oneida Prestige Plate Grenoble 1938 Set of 7 Silverplate Teaspoons

This is a set of seven Oneida Prestige Plate Grenoble silverplate teaspoons in the 1938 pattern.

The spoons show light surface scratches from use and a small amount of tarnishing, but there are no dishwasher or garbage disposal bites noted along the edges.

The restrained leaf detail and stepped handle design give this Grenoble flatware an Art Deco look that works well for a vintage table setting, replacement set, or Oneida silverplate collection.

Disclaimer

All items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history. Photos show the exact condition of each piece, please review them carefully, as they are part of the description.

I do my best to capture colors accurately, but your monitor or device screen may display colors slightly differently from the actual item.

Please Note

These pieces come from estate collections and have been surface cleaned. You may wish to perform additional cleaning depending on your preference.

How Reading Vintage sources and grades every piece

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
