You are viewing a Marthinsen of Norway Silverplated EPNS Demitasse Teaspoon. This has a lovely ornate emboss Flower Design on the handle, with very clear stamps on the back of the handle, which read "EPNS" - "TH MARTHINSEN NORWAY"
#TH Marthinsen: In 1883 Mr Thorvald Marthinsen, established his own jewellers and workshop in Tønsberg, Norway. His business earned an excellent reputation and was known as a quality supplier, not only in Norway, the companies silver is sort after worldwide. Marthinsen business has stood for generations and is still thriving today in our competitive world. The popular Scandinavian design are the hallmarks of Marthinsen silverware, clearly reflecting the historical national Viking heritage.
This is a true collector's cutlery piece, replacement or addition; it’s becoming harder to find these rare old Cutlery Pieces from history's finest silversmiths. Perfect to add to an existing set or start collecting with. Today, sadly many of the old Quality Silverware Companies are no longer trading and are a thing of the past. The competition came from the eastern countries, such as China, which by the 1980s started to flood the market with cheap products, sold in nearly every store with inferior quality that DID and DO NOT LAST. Everyday tons of this inferior products go into landfill. As the world's copper prices continue to rise, many people buy old copper silverplated items to scrap and sell the copper as it is far more valuable than the silver plating on the item.

Silverplate has existed for near on 300 years. Silverplate looked, felt, and had all the characteristics of Sterling Silver without the high cost. The demand increased dramatically because of its similarities to Sterling Silver and was a great alternative for everyday use for affluent families and for regular dining use in restaurants and hotels. Silverplate is more durable than Sterling Silver, which can bend under heat and use. However, Silverplate tarnishes just as fast as Sterling Silver. But by the late 1950s with the popularity of chrome and stainless cutlery, Silverplate become the “reserved service setting” for use only on special occasions, just as Sterling Silver had been considered just 50 years earlier.
