You can create molds for multiples of the same and matching shapes or make a series of all the same shape.

Same bowls, different handles
Same handles, different bowls

Aren't these gorgeous?
Natural clay handles might simplify how to fire them in the kiln--supporting them by laying them across kiln posts, making a clay support or by stilting them.
Of course, if you plan to attach a handle, firing the bowls of spoons are easier. The could be stood on end with a bead rack or other stilt form, then handle and bowl are glued together.
Making ceramic bowls and handles that would later be glued together might be another experiment. I don't think I've ever seen that.....
Fitting them with wooden handles like these measuring spoons, or with driftwood handles.
A great website that matches materials to other materials with the right glue can be found at http://www.thistothat.com/.
If you're in to glue trivia or news, it's also the webpage for you!
Maybe using spoons to test glazes would be an even better than using test tiles.
I think I've come up with a brilliant idea!!
And, a word of advice, though. If you plan on making a set of spoons or a collection of any kind, be sure to make extras!
There will still be more posts on spoons to come.
