Hi, all. The theme of this little souvenir spoon, sterling, is unknown to me. Does anyone have a clue about this, please? Thanks in advance. ~Adele

I'd guess it is European bacause of the crown (the crown looks like it has some detail on it that can't be made out in the photo).

Is there anything engraved in the bowl and is there a Maker's name on the back?
I am just in the middle of polishing dozens of spoons and only have a few thousand to go! SO...what did I do last night..I went to the local auction house and won another box of them!

Hi: There's NO maker's mark and nothing in the spoon's bowl. With there were. I just found this in a box of old stuff from an old aunt. I'll just list it and see what happens. (Just like fly fishing, right?!)
The ship in the design appears to have smokestacks, and I'm wondering if it's a spoon from, say, the Queen Mary or such. I doubt I'll ever know.

The crown may give you the clue !
Middle Eastern countries have crowns too!Like Jordan

The design appears to depict land, water & sky.
My very first instinct was Norway as Norway & Denmark almost always have crowns on their tops.
When you list it I would be sure to mention the land, water, sky design. Someone out there will know where it is from.
