The Mike Davies Lovespoon Collection
  
 
   The Origin and Symbolism of the WELSH LOVESPOONThe custom of giving Lovespoons originated in Wales, probably as early as the sixteenth century. The Lovespoon seems to have developed from the 'cawl' (Welsh broth or soup) spoon. Traditionary, young men would fashion intricately carved wooden spoons and present them to their sweethearts, hopefully to influence a relationship. Hence the word 'spooning'. The spoons come in a variety of shapes and sizes and generally have a symbolic meaning.
