The left server with a fleur-de-lys finial is often found on silver.
The figure in the bowl is Jesus wrapped in a swaddling cloth.
The middle spoon appears to be the three wise men visiting Jesus
The third spoon appears to have an apostle finial, but this is NOT a traditional apostle style spoon.
The bowl is a common Dutch themed pastural scene
The fleur-de-lys symbol (stylized lily) occurs in countless European coats-of-arms and flags
it is often associated with France, but is really found throughout Europe.
Lions protecting a crossed key design on the bottom spoon
On the right is a somewhat similar symbol from the Bank of New Zealand (but this spoon has nothing to do with NZ)
Crossed key symbols are found in a number of different situations, but usually they somehow relate to St. Peter.
There is also a town in Holland known for crossed keys.
If you know about any of these symbols -- please contact me
