Carved Spoon with Hand Painted Italy SceneThis interesting hand carved spoon came from the North shore area of Massachusetts and dates to the mid 19th century. The hand painted detail captures an Italian scenic view of the ocean with homes and buildings located in the background. One of the boats is occupied while the other awaits a visitor. Gold accent paint was chosen to highlight the edge border of the spoon. Symbolic stripes representing Italys colors of her flag grace the bottom portion
