Thank you for visiting Looney Spoons! I've got spoons for all occasions and budgets, and since I hand stamp each and every letter myself - if you don't see exactly what you want, just ask me to stamp it for you. Personalisation makes a gift extra-special.
My prices haven't increased since 2021 and will remain fixed until the end of the year. I haven't increased my postage in line with the latest price hike either; it will remain fixed until the end of the year too. I always combine the postage no matter how many spoons you purchase... AND there are lots of bargains in the Bargain Bin already, with plenty more to come. I would like everyone in the UK to find a spoon in their stocking on Christmas morning!
Please note I'll be shutting the shop for my Christmas break on FRIDAY 13 DECEMBER - well before Royal Mail's last posting dates - so don't leave it too late to order your festive spoons. I'll be reopening on Monday 6 January.

Full description

A hand stamped vintage nickel silver alloy tea spoon with the words AWAKE BECAUSE TEA. It's a plain 'old english' teaspoon measuring approximately 5" (12.5cm) long and I would guess it's 1940s. The stamping dies I've used are also 1940s.

This listing is for ONE spoon. You will receive the spoon shown in the photographs. The lettering is coloured with a non-toxic, water-based acrylic ink. Wash carefully by hand as the colour is not indestructible - the lettering, however, is stamped into the metal and should last pretty much as long as the spoon does.

Please note this is a vintage spoon so it has hairline scratches and wear marks in the plating. I've also left it un-polished as I rather liked its patina (you could remove this with a drop of silver polish but this spoon is alloy not plated so it's never going to polish up as shiny as a silver-plated spoon, it'll always have that 'make do and mend' vibe.) This spoon has been around a bit and has character. It's a survivor. If you were looking for a mirror-finished brand new spoon, this isn't one. Just so you know.
