    Vor meiner Großmutter aus Norwegen hat sie uns diese Löffel anvertraut, was sind diese?

      It reads “confectionary forks”, so I’d guess it’s cutlery for deserts such as cakes.

      This looks like old mocca spoons in a confectionary fork box. I’m no cutlery expert, but I don’t think this is the original box for these spoons (unless they also came with complementary forks, which would then appear to be missing).

      Edit: Also, „konfektgafflar“ is swedish.

      Really cute and unique collection of spoons. I don’t know anything about them, but they have nothing to do with the box, which says confectionary forks (forks for sweets i guess).

      Spoons for sweets. So you can take one and one from a tray, instead of everyone fingering them.

      In an interesting turn of events, these appear to be Danish desert/coffee spoons in a Swedish box, handed down by a Norwegian grandmother.

      The one you posted on its own with the three prongs does confuse me a bit though.
      EDIT: The last one seems to be a silver salad server fork, but I found no proper matches

      You might want to look at some nerdy silverware forums online.

      To add to what everyone else has said, E.P.N.S means electroplated nickel-silver, it’s brass (does not contain actual silver) plated with something, could be silver.

      Looks like good ol‘ silverware to me. the 925 S stands for 92.5 Silver I think. They are obviously decorative, and potentially old. (not super old, just a couple generations). And where probably given either as a wedding gift or confirmation gift back then and then given as inheritance.

      It probably have some monetary value, and definitively some sentimental value – but I don’t think there is any big cultural link here

      Silver spoons I guess. Don’t know they are popular just in my family but everyone has to have some silver spoons heh. Never use them tho.

      Ornamental desert spoons, from the handles I’d hazard to say they are from 1930-1950.

      Appears to be silver plated or sterling silver.

      The first “backside” picture says 925S, which is sterling silver, if that is on the enamelled pieces, you have a nice, little collection of goldplated, enamelled silver. They are collector’s items and would fetch a decent price(we are not talking huge amounts, but nice prices) depending on designers, maker and period. I would check in enamel groups, or do a google search with one spoon at a time. The more famous Scandinavian designs and makers are well documented.

      I would think they are even more worth as a family heirloom

      My grandmother also has a collection of little spoons, I think she bought them in different places and they have different designs. Edit: we’re not Norwegian

      Whether they’re valuable or not, they’re neat looking utensils that are now technically heirlooms.

      I’d say unless they’re _really, really_ valuable y’all should keep them and pass them down over time. It can be really sweet to have something that someone generations back bought and kept passing down.

      Mocha spoons, almost certainly (for stirring sugar into a tiny cup of espresso-like coffee).

    17. Nurse_Tree on

      Looks like a mix of her nice and commemorative tea spoons and part of a salad serving set, though a lot of older generations also used that type of „fork“ as a potato serving spoon.
      The Tea spoons would typically be a mix of 925 Sterling silver with gold plating and/or enamel.

      These are spoons. Well, picture 4 shows a spork, but nevermind. Last picture shows it’s made in Denmark.
