Rare Antique Stone Faience Spoon of Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh King... Rare Antique Stone Stone/Faience Spoon of Ancient Pharaoh King.... Spoons are one of the oldest eating utensils on the planet. This isn't particularly surprising if one considers that nearly as long as humans have needed food, they've required something to scoop it up with.

Unlike knives and forks, that for the most part needed to be fashioned, natural spoons could be utilized by employing such things as seashells or conveniently shaped stones. Sure, the earliest known instances of these didn't have handles yet, but from these humble beginnings, the spoon was born. There is no definitive time period that can be attributed with the invention of the spoon.

And by'invention' I of course mean'adding a handle made from some dead animals bone. However, archaeological evidence suggests that spoons with handles were used for ancient Egyptian religious purposes as early as 1000 BC.
