Catalogue Note
A charming ceramic spoon of contemporary design, featuring a cheerful anthropomorphic toast character with painted smile at the handle's terminal and a matching smiling face applied to the shaft. The shallow round bowl bears scattered yellow dot decoration. The handle is rendered in white with brown ceramic accents; the overall effect is playful and child-friendly. In excellent condition with no visible chips or crazing.
Spoon Lore
Ceramic baby spoons with novelty character handles became popular in the early 2000s as parents sought feeding implements that appealed visually to infants and toddlers; the 'face' motif on both handle and shaft makes the utensil feel like a friendly companion during mealtimes.
