When I picked up this strange looking spoon at the flea market (for almost nothing) I had no idea what it is. I liked its elegant leaf shape. I looked up its hallmarks, and I found out that the company Cailar Bayard went out of business in 1934. And this is an absinthe spoon. Quite interesting, besides its ugly name (Colonial).
Linking up with Vintage Bliss Tuesdays and Thriftasaurus.
It’s elegant. It should be dubbed, “Absinthe: The Spoon.”

I’d never heard of an absinthe spoon but after looking it up they’re really quite fascinating, what a great find!

I never heard of them before, either, but they have such interesting shapes.
