+ THE STORY

Souvenir spoons were the postcards of an earlier era — small, portable, and painted with the particular pride that places have always taken in themselves. Someone brought this one home from somewhere, set it in a drawer or a rack, and it has been waiting ever since to be found by someone who understands what it is. Hand-painted folk art detailing, colorful accents, the kind of craftsmanship that was applied to small things because small things deserved it.

+ WHY WE CHOSE IT

Because a hand-painted souvenir spoon with intact folk art detailing is a more interesting object than most things that end up in collections. Because souvenir spoon culture is a genuine and rewarding collecting category. Because some objects accumulate meaning the longer they travel, and this one has been traveling.
