A ceramic spoon holds temperature differently from metal — it does not conduct heat in the same way, and the weight sits differently in the hand. This one is made from Japanese pottery clay, shaped and fired individually, with the quiet surface quality that ceramic gives to everyday objects. Yuki Watanabe makes each piece by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows full attention to every object. The result is a piece of everyday craft made to last and to be noticed in use. Japanese craft has shaped the way the world thinks about handmade objects, and a piece like this brings that tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Pottery (ceramic) Made in Japan Artisan: Yuki Watanabe Size: 13.6 × 4.4 cm (5.4 × 1.7 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and finish are the mark of a true handmade object.
