Full description

A big (21cm) vintage tablespoon hand stamped with 'ALIVE AND COOKING', just the gift for a cook you know, especially one who's maybe getting a bit older. It has an elegantly shaped handle and is silver-plated (EPNS). And yes, it's old, possibly even an antique by now (if I've read the tiny numbers correctly the design was registered in 1918), so it has wear marks and tarnish. At least some of the remaining tarnish would probably come off with a drop of silver polish if you didn't want the spoon to look quite so old!

The lettering is coloured with waterbased acrylic pigment; hand wash with care.

Perfect for use as a measuring spoon (it holds one tablespoon, funnily enough) or as a basting spoon, serving spoon, folding-in-cake-mix spoon, or weapon for fending off anyone trying to lick the bowl before it's empty.

There is a 'personalised spoons' collection in my shop so if you wanted a spoon of pretty much any other size and/or with pretty much any other wording, that would probably be possible, just contact me and I'll see what I can do.
