These two pretty vermeil spoons were manufactured by TH Marthinsen Co., a very well respected silver smithing firm. Note the right spoon has a small white dot and discoloration on it. This is a manufacturing defect and the spoon was probably sold as a "second". This defect severely reduces the value of this spoon. Any attempt to repair it would be very costly and would probably cost more than the value of the spoon.

The festival of St. Lucia is very precious to the Swedes because it comes at a "dark time" of the year, when one is apt to feel gloomy. Lucia is the oldest girl in the family. She wears a crown of candles and a white robe, and wakes the rest of the family with coffee and a tray of "Lussekattor" (saffron buns). There are also "Lucia Parades". It is based upon an old evil medieval character which has been changed into this friendly version.
