[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4849583, member: 2844"]It is one of a set of Dutch "province spoons", made in the 20th century in 18th century style, as Cheryl said. A set of province spoons comprised of spoons with the crests and names of the 11 pre-1986 provinces, and one spoon with the national crest and name of the Netherlands - Nederland. So 12 spoons in total. Most sets are silver. They often came with a carved wooden spoon rack. Since 1986 we have a 12th province, land claimed from the sea.[/QUOTE]
