Mother of Pearl Treasure
Mother of Pearl Treasure
Our mother of pearl pieces feature authentic vintage mother of pearl handles, and have been reworked with a brand new stainless steel blade. The handle is 100% vintage, the blade is brand new.
Our cake knives and butter spreaders are however 100% vintage, with an authentic silver plated blade.
Please note that scratches and signs of wear are part of the charm and authenticity of vintage pieces.
Did you know? Mother of pearl is the traditional symbol of the pearl anniversary, celebrating 30 years of marriage.
Choice of Handle Design
You will not receive the exact same piece as the ones shown in the photos. My stock varies constantly, sourcing vintage cutlery is like a lottery, and I can't bulk order from a supplier! If you'd like to choose your specific piece, come and meet me at one of my upcoming live-engraving events, you'll even get to watch me engrave your piece in front of you! If you're after something specific, feel free to email me at lucie@maisonspoon.com and I'll do my best to help.
Hand Engraving
Hand Engraving
Every letter is engraved by hand directly onto the surface of each piece in my signature French cursive handwriting, making each one truly unique. Please note that spacing and alignment are not exact, and this is not calligraphy, it is my own handwriting, so letters won't be perfectly uniform. That's what makes each piece special!
Care & Cleaning
Care & Cleaning
These pieces are not dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended. Mother of pearl is delicate and should never be placed in the dishwasher. As silver-plated pieces, they can tarnish over time. Noticed some dark marks (tarnishing) on your piece? Purchase a cleaning kit here.

Terms of Service
Personalised items are non-refundable. Please ensure you are happy with all the information you have provided before checking out, as I will use the details left in the form to make your order. I am not responsible for any errors made using the forms. Please double-check names and dates (especially wedding and anniversary dates), as engraving is final! Please use the gift finder page to view examples of previously engraved pieces for inspiration. Please note these are not exact representations of how your order will look, as each piece is engraved individually and will have its own unique character. Please note that scratches and signs of wear are an inherent part of vintage pieces and contribute to their charm and authenticity. I am unable to accept returns on the basis of natural wear or imperfections.

Processing Time
Processing Time
My processing times are an estimate and not a guarantee. I aim to engrave orders the same day I receive them (for orders placed before 7pm) and ship them the following day.
If you have an urgent request, please email me at lucie@maisonspoon.com or leave a note at checkout so I can prioritise your order.
Vintage Pieces
All our pieces are vintage, sourced at antique markets across the UK. Silver-plated or mother of pearl, each one is unique and will show the marks of its previous life through scratches. If you're looking for a piece that looks brand new, then this is probably not for you. You're giving beautiful objects a second life and keeping them out of landfill!
Engraved by Hand
Everything is engraved free-hand by me, Lucie, in my own French cursive handwriting. Not calligraphy, just how I learned to write at school. Letters aren't perfect, and that's what makes them special. No machines here! If you're looking for something machine-like and uniform, this is not for you. Nothing is perfect, and that's the whole point.
I Hope You Love It As Much As I Do
I trained as a jewellery engraver before launching Maison Spoon. I'm incredibly proud of every piece, and I hope the person you gift it to loves it as much as I do.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'd like to choose my piece, is this possible?
All our spoons are vintage and sourced individually, so no two are exactly alike. During quieter periods, I may be able to send you photos of available pieces before you order, just get in touch! Please note this isn't always possible during busy periods such as Christmas.
Are these silver?
Our spoons are silver-plated, not solid silver. They are genuine vintage pieces with a silver coating over a base metal. Some of our pieces feature mother of pearl handles. All pieces are clearly described in the product listing.
Can you do drawings?
I engrave letters, words and simple designs such as love hearts. I'm not able to engrave complex illustrations. If you're unsure whether your request is possible, feel free to message me before ordering!
How do you ship them?
I engrave on the day I receive the order (I try!) if placed before 7pm. All orders are then dispatched from the UK via Royal Mail Tracked 48h.
