<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 837486, member: 111"]It's a traditional Norwegian sugar spoon, though I've never found the origin and don't believe I've ever seen any that date earlier than around the mid 19th century - I have several variants including the plique-à-jour and champlevé enamel piece below. A sweet Norwegian lady told me years ago that they were a common wedding gift, and a short verse was sometimes included, "The path of love may be twisted, but the end is sweet." (they're actually quite comfortable in the hand).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]194744[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
