Although the Welsh Love-Fork is not as well known as its cousin the Love-Spoon, the Love-Fork has an equally venerable history. The earliest known example was unearthed in 1742 near the famous Dolau Cothi Gold mines in Pumpsaint Wales. It was carved from boxwood and inlaid with river pearl and slate lozenges. Contemporary accounts describe it as ‘an exquisite piece , verily more of a jewelle than a toole’. Unfortunately in the harsh winter of 1967 this legendary masterpiece was burnt to a cinder in an ill-advised toast making incident.
