THIS IS NOT A SPOON ORNAMENT

Inspired by Magritte's painting, Ceci n'est pas une pipe, this are spoons with a backstory: farmer-artisans in Laos have turned swords to ploughshares in the 1970s, transforming bombs into soup spoons at the end of the Vietnam War. Modern artifacts, these spoons are decorative objects that are more than what they seem.  Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-mining efforts. Your purchase contributes to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) to safely & expertly clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs contaminating land in Laos. clears 3m2 of Laotian landscape DISCOVER OUR STORY AND IMPACT
