Last few days for Xmas Shopping! Folksy is packed full of fabulous gift ideas and of course SPOONS are at the top of my suggestions list - they are long-lasting, planet-friendly, practical, postable and the perfect gift for just about anyone.
Personalised spoons are now off the menu until next year (I’ve been advised I need to take a break from hammering) but there are lots of readymade options to choose from whether you’re looking for something festive, funny, romantic, rude or just plain daft! Postage is always first class and always combined no matter how many spoons you buy.
HOLIDAY DATES: Please note the shop will be CLOSED for Xmas from Tues 16 Dec to Fri 2 Jan inclusive. Thank you for all your support this year, and Merry Christmas!

Full description
A little vintage runcible spoon (yes, really, as per The Owl and the Pussycat) with teeth cut into the bowl and a 'dognose' style handle. I've hand stamped it 'RUNCIBLE' with Victorian antique stamping dies. A perfect small gift for anyone who loves quirky old stuff, it's just right for fishing slippery olives or preserved ginger out of a jar or you could go full-on Edward Lear and dine on mince and slices of quince... do be careful though, the teeth are quite sharp so I'd recommend using this as a serving implement only and NOT putting it in your mouth. Also keep out of reach of unsupervised children, just in case. Although if they want to know what the 'runcible spoon' in the poem is, you can show them an actual real one!
You will receive the spoon shown in the photos. It is about 12cm long, and it's vintage (or quite possibly antique) and pre-loved so it does have some wear to its original silver plating, although this doesn't affect its efficacy as a spoon at all. It also has a bit of residual tarnish that can probably be removed with a proprietary silver polish if you'd like your spoon shinier.
The lettering is coloured with a waterbased acrylic ink. Hand washing will make it last longer than chucking it in the dishwasher.
