Seller's Description
Carnaval De Quebec Souvenir Teaspoon Tea Spoon Bonhomme 4-3/16" long
I acquired this spoon from an estate sale.
The crest on this spoon says "Carnaval De Quebec" and depicts Bonhomme, the carnival mascot.
The spoon measures 4-3/16 inches (10.8 cm) long X 15/16 inch (2.4 cm) wide (At the widest part of the spoon bowl).
There is a lot of wear to the finish on the spoon, especially to the rear of the spoon. (See pictures). Even with this wear, this still is a very nice spoon.
The Quebec Winter Carnival Festival is a festival held in Quebec City. The festival's events include a winter amusement park, with attractions such as skiing, snow rafting, ice sculptures, snow sled slides and outdoor shows and it is usually held in February. In 2013, the carnival ran from February 1 to February 17.
Carnival celebrations were a private affair long before the first organized event in 1894 in Quebec City with the construction of the first ice castle.
After being held on and off for over half a century, the Quebec City Carnival has been held uninterruptedly since 1955. That year, a large ice palace was built for Bonhomme, the carnival mascot, for the first time. The impressive ice construction in Jacques Cartier Square even had a dungeon, used to playfully jail carnival-goers who refused to honour Bonhomme's effigy. Bonhomme and his Palace are located opposite the Quebec Winter Carnival in Place d'Youville. In 1973, Bonhomme's palace was moved to be opposite Quebec's National Assembly, at the foot of the upper city fortification wall near the entrance of the main carnival site on the Plains of Abraham.
Bonhomme – short for bonhomme de neige ("snowman") is the official ambassador of the festivities, the castle lord of the Ice Palace. Bonhomme is a large snowman sporting a red cap, black buttons and a ceinture fléchée.
