Pewter Welsh Lovespoon Keyring - Lock & Bells. Cast in England. A Lovespoon is traditionally presented to a young woman as a gift of romantic intent by her suitor. Certain symbols came to have specific meanings: a horseshoe for luck, a cross for faith, bells for marriage, hearts for love, a lock for security, among others. Today lovespoons are given as wedding and anniversary gifts, as well as birthday, baby gifts, Christmas or Valentine's Day gifts. Approximately 3 1/2" long (9cm) including the ring. AN IDEAL UNUSUAL GIFT. THIS IS A SUPERB, TOP QUALITY ITEM. THE PHOTOGRAPH DOES NOT DO THIS ITEM JUSTICE. The manufacturers, the A E Williams family have been making Pewter since 1779. Present family members are members of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, as were their forebears and Freemen of the City of London. Historically A E Williams have produced traditional Pewterware for palaces, cathedrals, stately homes, major Film TV and Theatre Companys as well as domestic Pewterware.
