One of the hottest trends right now is the high art of tea spoon collecting!
Spoon collecting likely began in Europe in the mid- to late-18th century. In the United States, the first souvenir spoons were produced by Galt & Bros of Washington D.C. in 1889. The spoon featured George Washington, and a companion spoon featuring Martha Washington was released soon after. Interest in spoon collecting exploded the following year.
The English word spoon derives from Old English spon, meaning "chip or splinter of wood or horn carved from a larger piece, shaving," from a Proto-Germanic root spunuz (cf. Old Norse spann, sponn "chip, splinter," Swedish spån "a wooden spoon," Old Frisian spon, Medieval Dutch spaen, Dutch spaan, Old High German span, German Span "chip, splinter"), in turn deriving from the Proto-Indo-European root spe-, denoting 'a long piece of wood', probably in the sense of a wedge (cf. Greek sphen "wedge").
The meaning "eating utensil" is recorded c.1300 in English, probably from Old Norse sponn, which meant "spoon" as well as "chip, tile" (development of the "eating utensil" sense is specific to Medieval England and Scandinavia, though Medieval Low German spon also meant "wooden spanker").
Spoons have been used by many cultures since the dawn of time.
From the derivation of the word the earliest northern European spoon would seem to have been a chip or splinter of wood; Greek references point to the early and natural use of shells, such as those that are still used by primitive peoples.
Preserved examples of various forms of spoons used by the ancient Egyptians include those composed of ivory, flint, slate and wood; many of them carved with the religious symbols.
The spoons of the Greeks and Romans were chiefly made of bronze and silver and the handle usually takes the form of a spike or pointed sperm.
There are many examples in the British Museum from which the forms of the various types can be ascertained, the chief points of difference being found in the junction of the bowl with the handle.
Medieval spoons for domestic use were commonly made of horn or wood, but brass, pewter, and latten (copper alloy) spoons appear to have been common in about the 15th century.
The full descriptions and entries relating to silver spoons in the inventories of the royal and other households point to their special value and rarity.
The earliest English reference appears to be in a will of 1259.
In the wardrobe accounts of Edward I for the year 1300 some gold and silver spoons marked with the fleur-de-lis, the Paris mark, are mentioned.
The sets of Apostle Spoons, popular as christening presents in Tudor times, the handles of which terminate in heads or busts of the apostles, are a special form to which antiquarian interest attaches. The earlier English spoon-handles terminate in an acorn, plain knob or a diamond; at the end of the 16th century, the baluster and seal ending becomes common, the bowl being fig-shaped.
At the Restoration, the handle becomes broad and flat, the bowl is broad and oval and the termination is cut into the shape known as the pied de biche, or hinds foot.
In the first quarter of the 18th century, the bowl becomes narrow and elliptical, with a tongue or rat's tail down the back, and the handle is turned up at the end.
The modern form, with the tip of the bowl narrower than the base and the rounded end of the handle turned down, came into use about 1760.
A love spoon is an ornately carved spoon traditionally made from a single piece of wood given as a love token to your sweetheart to show affection. The earliest surviving example dates from around 1667, although the tradition probably dates back long before that.
The love spoon originated from the "cawl" soup spoon. Over generations, decorative carvings were added to the spoon and it lost its original practical use and became a treasured decorative item to be hung proudly on a wall. Certain symbols came to have specific meanings: a horseshoe for luck, a cross for faith, or hearts for love.
Sailors would often carve love spoons during their long journeys, which is why anchors would often be incorporated into the carvings. Although the Welsh lovespoon is the most famous there are also traditions of lovespoons in Scandanavia and some parts of Eastern Europe which have their own unique styles and techniques.
