Love Spoon - Together Spoon in 2 colours from Scotweb Kilt & Tartan Store

The centuries old Welsh custom of giving love spoons meant that a would be suitor gave a spoon as an indication that he desired to court a particular girl. A girl may therefore receive several love spoons from as many suitors. The oldest surviving spoon, made in 1667, is in the Welsh Folk Museum at St Fagan's Castle, Cardiff, although it is known that love spoons were made well before this date by the menfolk of Wales. Sailors and other young men would while away long Winter evenings making spoons for their loved one. Love spoons are symbolic and have several meanings. To begin with they have several meanings. To begin with they suggest a suitor can help the one he loves to food, for which they were originally designed. Later they became quite ornamental, with long handles and the means by which to hang them on a wall. The designs are symbolic. For instance, a heart means 'my heart is yours'. spoons with cages in which run spheres indicate the number of children the suitor would like to have. Double spoons denote togetherness, and a key indicates the key to his heart. The spoons are made of limewood, stained, waxed and polished. Today lovespoons are given for many reasons and to mark many occasions. The marriage of a couple, the arrival of their child, a wedding anniversary, a birthday, a christening, Valentines Day and favours for the guests at a wedding.
