Inspired by ancient Celtic manuscripts, this Scottish Thistle Spoon Rest depicts Scotland's national flower, the Thistle, printed on the cream, vellum inspired centre of the spoon rest, with gorgeous classic Celtic knots often seen in illuminated manuscripts making up the border.
Scotland's national flower, the legend of the thistle states that when an approaching Viking from a raiding party accidentally stepped on one of the flowers he couldn't help but cry out in pain, thus alerting the sleeping Scottish warriors who were able to duly defeat the invaders. This bone china spoon also includes a red ribbon for hanging when not in use, or so it may be used as decor to show off your proud Scottish heritage anywhere in your home.
