Humble, Beautiful Antique Carved Wooden Spoon / Butter Paddle orange ceramic and they are quite fine

and they are quite fine little things

There is also a caduceus staff

and tongue wagging as it surely glimpses a predator on the horizon

The wood on the box here has seen better days

I must say I find her rather inspiring

Humble, Beautiful Antique Carved Wooden Spoon / Butter Paddle orange ceramic and they are quite fineOne challenge about selling things online it is very hard to communicate how they feel in one's hand; this old hand carved spoon, worn completely smooth, is a complete joy to hold. With its short handle I believe it is a butter paddle, but could be used for all sorts of things. A humble but to my sensibilities very beautiful thing. 7 1 8" l x 2 5 8" w x 5 8" thick and in excellent antique condition with a wonderful patina.
