Plumb Crazy Vintage is run by treasure hunter Joan Plumb, finding vintage, antique, and delightfully unique pieces with personality. I collect because I love the thrill of the hunt—and giving special finds a second life in a new home. If it makes me smile, it made the cut. I usually ship the 1st business day after purchase. By purchasing from me you are contributing to my local food bank in Sequim (pronounced Skwim) Washington. I give a portion of my proceeds to them each quarter.
Vintage Hand Carved Wooden Lovespoon – Ball in Cage + Heart – Welsh Folk Art 5.5" Dark Wood.
A charming vintage lovespoon, hand-carved from a single piece of dark hardwood.
Features:
• functional spoon bowl at one end
• central cage with one captive ball (symbol of children/family)
• pierced heart handle at top (symbol of love)
• measures approx. 5½" long x 1¼" wide
This style originated in Wales in the 1600s as a courting gift — a young man would spend winter evenings carving symbols to show his intentions. The ball-in-cage was the show-off carve: it proves the piece was made from one solid block with no glue.
Perfect for:
• folk art collectors
• cottagecore / primitive kitchen display
• wedding, anniversary, or Valentine gift
• lovespoon collection
