About this item
A pretty vintage teaspoon with a floral handle and the handstamped wording 'opteamist - cup half full' in the bowl. I've also stamped a little image of a teacup. (The dash in the wording is actually an 'equals' sign but this platform won't allow me to type that in the description, so please go by the photos.) This listing is for ONE spoon. It's about 13.5cm long. You will receive the spoon shown in the photos. Wash before first use. Hand wash with care. Lettering is coloured black with non-toxic, water-based acrylic ink. (I don't know why other hand stampers are so reluctant to tell their customers what they colour their lettering with. After all, you are possibly going to be putting this in your mouth so you deserve to have as much information as possible to help you decide whether that is a sensible thing to do or not!) Please note this is a vintage item, so I recommend you study the photos before purchase as it does show signs of age and wear. These don't affect its useability as a spoon though. I can do other wording to order so if you would like personalisation on this or another spoon (I can add a name to the handle of this one, for example), let me know and I'll set up a custom listing for you. You can find more teaspoons with other messages in the 'Tea Spoons' collection in my shop.
