A long time ago, eating utensils were mainly made out of wood. The rich people would present a silver spoon to their Godchildren upon their Christening, which is where the saying "He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth" came from. MANY years ago, my family was quite wealthy (unfortunately, none of it made it down to me). These are the silver spoons, left to me by my grandmother, that were given when children were Christened in our family. The oldest one (the one at about 2:00) was from 1888. My grandmother's (at about 8:00 with "Lora" on it) was from 1912 (the dates are typically engraved on the backs). You can see the nice details in high res where you can magnify it.

What a lovely collection, and what a shame you didn't give them a proper polish before photographing them.
Thanks. Actually, they were cleaned up. That's not tarnish or spots, it's age.
Apologies for doubting your housekeeping.
LOL... none necessary.

Spoons in a mug form a flower. (5 years and 1227 days ago)
Nice idea poorly executed. The problems here are multiple.
First and most importantly, the tilt of the horizon is very distracting. The subject in a photo please the viewers eye and being level is job one.
Secondly is the poor lighting forcing the use of a on-board flash. This has created an unpleasant glare in your central subject while under-exposing the cup.
There are other factors but to be competitive in these competitions, you must exercise basic rules of good photography. Hope this critique helps with future entries, These comments are meant to encourage improvements and heighten skills.
Best regards.
Thanks for the expert critique. I like it though. Yeah, next entry.

Spoons can be played as a makeshift percussion instrument, or more specifically, an idiophone related to the castanets. "Playing the spoons" originated in Ireland as "playing the bones," in which the convex sides of a pair of sheep rib bones were rattled in the same way.
