This spoon rest depicts the famous Scottish Thistle, a national emblem.
Legend has it that the Thistle was adopted as the symbol of Scotland when a Viking raider accidentally stepped on the spikey plant and cried out in pain, alerting a band of sleeping Scottish warriors to his presence and thwarting the would be invasion. Now Scotland's National Flower, the Thistle symbolises resiliency, strength, protection, and pride.
