Chinese
Chinese good luck spoons are frequently found. I am not able to
read the Chinese script, but the few times which I have asked
someone who is familiar, they always say that it is a "good luck"
image. Apparently this is a very important area of Chinese
Culture. The spoons apparently represent money, long life,
health, family etc. If any readers care to expand on any of these
spoons, please contact me.
