Comments

This large, essentially oversized, souvenir spoon has an image of a stork holding a worm or snake in its beak, a symbol associated with the Hague, beneath a crown-like motif.  A relief image inside the round spoon bowl shows a Dutch maid bearing a shoulder yoke with two pails of milk past cows on one side and a fence on the other.  A church and other buildings are in the background.

The spoon is unmarked.
