The mere chink of cups and saucers
tunes the mind to happy repose.
- George Gissing

Unlike the knife, the spoons friendly and feminine
character makes an ideal gift or souvenir; an
expression of love, commitment and memory.

Spooning can also mean kissing, caressing or
even courting, there is a Welsh custom of
lovers carving love spoons for each other.

The gift of a spoon implies caring and themed
spoons imply empathy: the tea lover’s spoon,
the nature lover’s spoon. The giving of such spoons recognises the passions and
personality of the recipient.


Each cup of tea represents an
imaginary voyage. - Catherine Douzel
