It's now definitely Xmas Shopping time! 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 lovely elegant antique pickle fork with an elaborate 'chinoiserie' style handle, hand stamped with OLIVE YOU just above the tines. Perfect for giving along with a jar of interesting home-made pickled things and perhaps a handmade dish or coaster to stand them on (there are lots of that sort of thing here on Folksy!)

The original decoration on this fork is incredibly detailed, there are birds, butterflies, flowers, leaves, fans... all over the handle and on the back too. It's a generous 19cm long, so it'll reach to the bottom of a substantial jar. I've coloured the lettering black with a non-toxic, water-based acrylic paint. Hand washing will prolong the pigment life and be kinder to the remaining silver plating than a dishwasher. Any tarnish can be easily removed with a drop of silver polish or one of those impregnated silver-cleaning cloths. Avoid leaving the fork standing in acidic liquids such as vinegar pickles, preserved lemons or chutneys, as these can cause pitting and discoloration to the plating and nobody wants a green fork in their food!
