Welsh treen spoon.
A beautifully carved 19th century Welsh ‘Dolphin’ shaped beech spoon.
North Wales circa 1860.
From ‘Guide to the Collection illustrating Welsh Folk Crafts & Industies” by Iorweth C. Peate & published & by the National Museum of Wales 1935.
”Caernarfonshire seems to have evolved a wooden spoon of a definite type, and the feature characteristic of the type (even shown in the love-spoons of the county) is a strengthening and ridging of the stem until it is often dolphin-shaped. In addition,the bowl and tip of the handle are sometimes set at an angle to the main stem, the spoon of this type being known as a ‘crooked spoon’ (Llwy gam); one of its essential qualities being that the tip of the bowl and of the handle as well as the highest point of the ridged stem, shall be in a straight line. These spoons are not turned, an axe, a pocket-knife and a small curved knife (twca cam) being the only tools used.”
