Plumb Crazy Vintage is run by me, Joan Plumb. I've always loved the thrill of the hunt — the estate sale early mornings, the tucked-away antique malls, the joy of spotting something special that deserves a second life. I collect vintage, antique, and delightfully unique pieces that have character and make me smile. Every piece in the shop is chosen by hand and ready for a new home. I pack with care and ship the first business day after purchase. Your purchase helps fund my local food bank.
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
