This is my collection of children's silver pieces. Nursery rhyme themed are my very favorite.I love that many nursery rhymes stem from historical or political events. Some were originally very sinister.
This sterling spoon and fork has a slightly devious looking cat, eating with a spoon and reads: Kitty Cat at Breakfast.I have no idea what this means, I assume it is some nursery rhyme, or story - if anyone knows, please do tell!
The Three Little Pigs. The pigs are all playing instruments.
Spoon from the rhyme There Was an Old Woman Tossed up in A Basket. Part of the rhyme reads: Old Woman Whither So High? To Sweep the Cobwebs From the Sky.
Little Boy Blue Spoon.
Goosey Goosey Gander Spoon.
This is a Humpty Dumpty egg cup.
Little Bo Peep mug.
This one is hard to read, but it is also Little Bo Peep. It is a tin plate.
Little rabbit napkin ring. I'm not sure if this is from a nursery rhyme. Could be just a cute bunny - maybe Bunny Foo Foo?
And a Humpty Dumpty baby cup.If you are interested in the history of a specific nursery rhyme, this is a pretty good website that tries to sort out their origins.
