Ceramic Soup Spoon - Black

I am a Black Ceramic Soup Spoon. Let me change your perception of soup in a way that enhances all the aromas. With my large surface, the soup you imbibe will be love at first slurp.   Curator's Notes  The large surface of this traditional Asian soup spoon, inspired by a butterfly resting at the tip of a lotus petal, has so much area for aromas to mingle. This particular interpretation of the common utensil is made with Japanese cuisine in mind, with a smaller bowl that can comfortably fit in the mouth, and a smooth flat bottom that can stand on its own. The way in which Azmaya uses earth inspired glazes for each spoon in this collection adds to the multi-sensory experience with rich texture and color for each scoop of rice, soup or hot-pot!   Ceramic Spoon was curated by Angélique Chmielewski   Designer/Maker    Designer: Azmaya   Maker: Azmaya   Specifications   Dimensions: 2” (w) x 4.9” (l) x 1.8” (h) or 50mm (w) x 125mm (l) x 45mm (h)   Weight: 1 oz or 30 g   Materials: Iga Clay   Details Made in Iga, Japan High-quality clay from Iga, in the Mie prefecture, is hand formed into this unique shape Glazed all around with a candy-like glossy dark brownish black Each piece is handmade and will have slight variations Bottom of spoon is smooth and flat so that it can stand on its own on a tabletop surface Before use, boil the piece in a pot with rice water for about 10 minutes to seal the porous areas of the clay. The starchy film formed on the surface with resist dirt and odors to increase the longevity of the piece Hand wash recommended
