Carved Wooden Spoon with Curvy, Hooked Handle childrens plates glass eyesI just love this old carved wooden spoon, which feels as much like a sculpture as a utilitarian object, with this great snake like handle terminating in a hooked end, making it easy to hang. It's nice and substantial, and one could use it as a tasting or a serving spoon or, if you're hungry, use it to eat your soup or stew! It's definitely got some years on it, but remains in good condition with some aging to the wood as pictured. 8" long x 2 1 2"
