Celtic artistry spoon rest Heat resistant and dishwasher safe Ribbon hook for hanging The design of the spoon rest puts the Scottish Thistle at its center, a symbol of resilience and strength and a national emblem of Scotland. Legend has it that the Scottish Thistle saved some sleeping Scots warriors from an invading Norse army when an enemy stepped on it, waking up the warriors who defeated the invaders. In gratitude, the thistle was embraced as a powerful emblem of the nation. The design also features intricate Celtic knotwork, symbolizing interconnectedness and the eternal nature of life. Measuring 9" long, the Irish Blessing spoon rest center has a diameter of 4-5/8" which is big enough for any utensil from spatula to ladle. The handle arches up elegantly to support the utensil and has a ribbon hook for hanging. It is made of heat resistant and dishwasher safe new bone china.
