Hi - I'm hoping someone can please help me the maker of these two pickle forks. So far I think the city mark is Vaesteras, the year is 1895 and the country is Sweden. Is the 813H the purity and regional assay office ID? The maker's mark has me completely befuddled. Everytime I look at it, it looks like something different; ship, lion, bird etc. Anyone? Thanks very much - Ann

Yes, the spoons are Finnish made by Auran Kultaseppä Oy in Turku in 1946. The pattern is simply called "Ruusu" (rose).
