A Welsh Lovespoon hand cast in pewter by Welsh craftsmen in Wales

Giving gifts of handcrafted spoons to symbolise love and affection is a craft tradition in Wales that dates back to the 16 century.  The earliest surviving example can be found in the Welsh Folk museum in Cardiff and is dated to 1667.

Love Spoons are used for many occasions, from engagements to weddings, anniversaries to birthdays, friendship or valentine, christenings and even farewell gifts, in fact any occasion when someone wants to show that they care for someone.

The spoons come in a variety of shapes and sizes and generally have a symbolic meaning.  Many symbols are used and all convey a particular message. Hearts are for love. Bells are for the hoped-for wedding.  A horseshoe is for luck (in Wales, a bride and groom are always given a horseshoe on their wedding day).  A wheel promised, "I will work for you.
