[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 118949, member: 44"]Debora nailed the location, the provence of Perigia in the Umbria region of Italy. The finial is the symbol, coat of arms, of Perugia. I doubt any silver content. The Spoon Planet site says the souvenir figural spoons out of Italy "... are made from a cheap form of pewter and were imported into the USA in very large quantities after World War ll. These spoons are NOT old (despite the way they look) and they are NOT valuable (just a few dollars each)." Here are the spoons. Note the one on the left has the same finial as your serving fork. Like Baker said, these souvenir figural pieces, spoons and serving pieces, came in sets. I have a set of 6 spoons.
