"Derelict" spoons

According to the dictionary definition, these spoons qualify as derelict.  They were handed down to me from my grandmother, who came from the town of Moglyev in what was then called White Russia.  I never met her; she died the year I was born and I was named for her.  I've never cleaned the spoons for fear of damaging them - they are very soft silver and they rest unused in a drawer.  But now that I've photographed them, I think it's time I gave it a try.  This is the most ornate spoon; the extra is all three.
