Engraved Lovespoon Glassware

The Welsh lovespoon transformed an everyday object into a personal expression of affection. Traditionally carved by hand and rich in symbolism, these gifts often incorporated motifs representing devotion, good fortune and commitment. This engraved glassware collection reinterprets the tradition for contemporary celebrations, weddings and meaningful gifts.
