Solution

No, if the position of the object is beyond focus, then the image will always be real and inverted. A spoon has two surfaces. First is concave and the second one is convex. Thus, it acts both as a concave and a convex mirror. Thus if we see our face on the concave surface, a real and inverted image is formed.. It is so because spoon is small in aperture and the focal length is also very small.
