For me a highly empathetic character who looks as if crying out for a break

The existence of things like this gives me tremendous joy

There is enough depth to the bowl to make it useful for serving

And on the front

Very good vintage condition

Humble, Beautiful Antique Carved Wooden Spoon / Butter Paddle 1642 Italy For me a highly empatheticOne challenge about selling things online it is very hard to communicate how they feel in one's hand; this old hand carved spoon, worn completely smooth, is a complete joy to hold. With its short handle I believe it is a butter paddle, but could be used for all sorts of things. A humble but to my sensibilities very beautiful thing. 7 1 8" l x 2 5 8" w x 5 8" thick and in excellent antique condition with a wonderful patina.
