A porcelain spoon is a considered object — the smooth surface, the gentle weight, the way it sits in the bowl. Made from Japanese porcelain clay, this one is shaped and fired individually, the glaze settled and even, the form built for use. Koyo Kiln works in Saga, Japan, making each piece by hand at a pace that allows every object to receive full attention. The craft tradition behind this work is regional and long-established — a way of making that the area has sustained for generations. 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: Porcelain Made in Saga, Japan Artisan: Koyo Kiln Size: 14.5 × 3.9 × 3.2 cm (5.7 × 1.5 × 1.3 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and finish are the mark of a true handmade object.
