Happy Carved and Crayoned Little Wooden Shovels mid-century Czech but I love how much

but I love how much it reads like a modern sculpture

I've since learned this is a collegiate tobacco silk

On a recent antiquing expedition to Maine I became pretty obsessed with old wooden spoons and paddles

Everything about it says Meissen (near Dresden

Happy Carved and Crayoned Little Wooden Shovels mid-century Czech but I love how muchSuper sweet! I'm pretty curious about the original intent of the kid, I assume who carved these and colored them with crayon in a very dedicated manner; perhaps as little shovels for scooping sand in the sandbox? or as snow shovels for dolls? or for scooping salt, sugar, and spices in the kitchen? Anyway, I think they could work for the latter now if desired, though I'd probably treat them as little sculptures and line them up in a row. Great color,
