Celtic Love Spoon from A.E. Williams, made in the UK - for good luck! Suitable for interior decoration, wall hanging, etc. Material: Pewter Size: 16cm x 3.5cm The custom of giving love spoons began in 17th century Wales. Young men would carve spoons from wood and give them to women. Widely loved in the UK as a symbol of friendship and affection, and as a good luck charm. Each motif has a meaning, and they are often combined. Heart: Love Knot: Eternal love Stork: Birth Standard pewter is 91% tin, about 7% antimony, and 2% copper, but this manufacturer uses high-purity tin, so it contains no lead. Although not generally known, tin is said to be the most expensive metal sold by the ton (expensive outside of precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum). Purchased from Touche, a British goods store on Rakuten Ichiba, where it is currently sold for 3300 yen. There are some scratches on the heart and spoon (last 3 photos). Please only purchase if you don't mind. Photos updated. There are a few more scratches on the heart at the top. Please check the photos. Price slightly reduced. Please note that the original box and paper are not included. It has been polished with silver polish. Thank you.
