Vintage NWT Welsh Lovespoon, Hand Carved in Wales, and 100% Cotton Printed Tea Towel Set Never used Lovespoons have been carved in Wales for over 400 years. Various symbols were carved into the spoons which had different meanings. It is sometimes thought that the Lovespoon represented an early type of engagement ring or perhaps that the presentation and subsequent acceptance of the carved spoon at least confirmed the beginning of a serious courtship. Lovespoons can also be given on special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, etc. Smoke-free home *Thank you for checking out my closet.
