<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 2990170, member: 111&quot;]In theory, could have been done any time after the spoon was produced (from what I can see, probably a &#039;20s-&#039;30s pattern), but can remember seeing quite a few painted spoons when I was selling in a crafts mall in the &#039;80s, usually the same artists who were doing rustic paintings on saw blades, etc.&nbsp; - likely oil paint, bowl might have been sanded or etched, or just a metal primer.&nbsp; Some of those I remember were left intact like yours (there were larger spoons done too), some were drilled or the stem bent over for hanging (there were always some on the mall tree at Christmas), and can even remember a few with the stems bent into a sort of easel so the bowl was upright - feel sure there are still spoons being painted by &#039;upcyclers&#039;, and of course, spoons with fired enamel bowls were popular souvenirs...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
