The feel of a spoon changes how a meal is eaten — the weight, the curve of the bowl, how it touches the lip. Made in Japan from quality metal, this one is shaped and finished to last: not decorative, but designed to be used well. Yamazaki Metal Industry is based in Niigata, Japan. Each piece is made by hand from start to finish — the form shaped, the surface finished, and the whole object considered as something built to be used rather than displayed. Japanese craft has shaped the way the world thinks about handmade objects, and a piece like this brings that tradition to your own table. Made in Japan by Yamazaki Metal Industry. Material: Japanese metalwork Made in Niigata, Japan Artisan: Yamazaki Metal Industry Size: 18.5 cm Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and finish are the mark of a true handmade object.
