I’ve received a few digs over my ‘ill-treatment’ of this cool little trinket – I admit the stirrer/tarnished metaphor of Manly is a bit oblique but I reckon it stands up. This is one spunky spoon, from its scooped and scalloped shell-like bowl to its brightly enamelled, foam-filled crest.
[old caption: Not much to add…stirrer, sweetener, mixed up, confused, tarnished, shiny, lopsided, vain, ambivalent Manly… Difficult to date, probably mid 60s, full of spunk so who cares?]
