Hand-Carved Primitive Spoon, 20th Century

About the Item

This rustic hand-carved wooden spoon exudes character and history. Its simple, utilitarian form is enriched by decades of use, with a smooth handle and a deep bowl shaped by hand tools. A small hole at the end of the handle suggests it may have been hung or stored for ready access in a traditional kitchen. Though its exact origins are unknown, the spoon speaks to vernacular craftsmanship and everyday beauty. A poetic addition to a kitchen vignette, shelf styling, or folk art collection.
