Carved Wooden Spoon with Curvy, Hooked Handle vintage brush with great patina I had never seen one

I had never seen one of these planters before

I think it seems both quintessentially early 1980s and also timeless

reminding me at once of a horse (and the sculptures of Marino Marini

with knotted shoelace cinch

Nicely sized at 5 1/2" tall with a diameter of 3 1/4"

Carved Wooden Spoon with Curvy, Hooked Handle vintage brush with great patina I had never seen oneI just love this old carved wooden spoon, which feels as much like a sculpture as a utilitarian object, with this great snake like handle terminating in a hooked end, making it easy to hang. It's nice and substantial, and one could use it as a tasting or a serving spoon or, if you're hungry, use it to eat your soup or stew! It's definitely got some years on it, but remains in good condition with some aging to the wood as pictured. 8" long x 2 1 2"
