What did the artist mean by and the dish ran away with the spoon?

No not an idiom. Maybe a personification - it is giving human quality (run) to the dish and spoon.
Idioms are expressions that are not taken literally. For example:
The old man kicked the bucket last night ( The old man died ) or
It's raining cats and dogs. ( Heavy rain )

The phrase "and the dish ran away with the spoon" is from the nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle." It is a nonsensical and whimsical line meant to evoke a sense of wonder and imagination, typical of children's folklore and storytelling.
