Vintage Demitasse Spoons Joseph Rodgers & Sons Sheffield With Box

A wonderful set of demitasse spoons by Joseph Rodgers and Sons, Ltd., Sheffield England.  Six spoons in their original box.  Inside the top of the box is marked Joseph Rodgers & Sons Ltd.  Sheffield England  Cutlers To His Majesty.  The back of the spoons are marked A Rodgers EP * + England.  I will guess the EP is for electroplate, I'm not positive, I have had a hard time researching the marks for this maker.  I don't know the age, but judging the box, they have been around awhile.  The spoons are in very good condition, light wear.  The box is missing it's latch.

Demitasse spoons were originally used to accompany coffee and tea, served in a small cups in Europe.  They are now becoming collectible items.

These spoons measure approx. 3 5/8 inches.
