1921 George V Penny Trench Art Tea Caddy Spoon Handmade Coin Curio

Unusual vintage handmade trench art style tea caddy spoon, ingeniously fashioned from old British penny coins.

The bowl has been made from a genuine 1921 George V One Penny, retaining the Britannia design and date, while the short shaped handle has been fashioned from another British penny with portions of the original lettering and design still visible.

A wonderfully characterful example of traditional coin work, where everyday materials were repurposed into useful and decorative objects.

The piece has substantial age-related patina, surface wear, scratches and marks, all adding to its wonderfully primitive handmade appearance.

The exact maker and circumstances of manufacture are unknown, so although consistent with pieces commonly described as trench art, no specific military provenance can be confirmed.

A cracking little piece for a collector of trench art, British coins, folk art, militaria-related curios or unusual social history.
