Spoons for the Discerning Adventurer
Spoons have a handle, and a shallow bowl or head, usually round or oval. Similar utensils include ladles, trowels, dippers and scoops. Used for eating, measuring, mixing, transferring, stirring and more.
As well as practical, some spoons are ornamental, symbolic or specialised. Made from all kinds of material, many from metal, wood or ceramic. Rarer ones might be bone, ivory, stone or a composite.
This is a list of spoons to be used as curiosity, trinket or treasure. A mix of mundane, strange, humorous and fantastical.
An NPC might have a spoon, especially in a domestic setting. Spoon-related NPCs might include a spoonmaker, cook, spoon collector, seller of spoons or servant.
