This is another collection designed again for the connoisseur of beautiful and original homewares that are also suitable for gifting. Here I present a variety of ceramic boutique serving spoons in a rustic style, each uniquely designed and suitably finished as a single piece or a set of two. The usable parts of the spoons are made from medium temperature clays, first biscuit firing at 1063˚C, second firing with lead-free glazes. The devices have an ergonomic design and are very comfortable to use. Some are larger salad spoons, others are suitable for both stirring and attractive serving of gourmet food, all are fine and light. The ceramic bases of the spoons are firmly attached (on the principle of the dowel connection) to beautiful and in themselves unique handles of hard wood - olive, cedar, pine, cypress, eucalyptus or others, collected and selected from the wild shores of Mediterranean Greece. This is a strong and sturdy, naturally weathered from the salty sea, hot sand and bright sun, incredibly beautiful and light in hand weathered wood. The handles are additionally disinfected and finally varnished or polished with wax. The resins (synthetic base) and waxes (natural base) with which I finalize the handles are heat resistant and waterproof. I love to arrange my table in a rustic style, it creates such a family and cozy atmosphere in my home. I am sure that my serving utensils would also contribute to your romantic mood, as well as to the excellent look of your lovely table. 💭 BONUS 1: Free gift wrapping. I prepare your set of unique serving spoons, luxuriously wrapped in fine tissue paper and an elegant eco gift box. 💭 BONUS 2: Free Shipping 💭 PRODUCT SIZES VARYING FROM - TO: • Length (with handle): 7.1'' /18- 14.4'' /36.5 cm • Diameter of ceramic part: 2.4''/6- 3.2''/8 cm* • Thickness of the ceramic part: 1.5 - 3 mm • Handle thickness: 0.27''/1 - 0.59''/1.3 cm • Set weight: 76 -164 grams • Weight of the individually offered spoons: 76 -164 grams *NB! The main exact dimensions and some larger deviations than described above are indicated in the attached photos of the respective sets. 💭 CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: Although both the ceramic part and the wooden handle are durable, as well as the assembly between them, I recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and a mild detergent. Spare the handles. After cleaning, dry very well. The spoons are slimmed down so they're not heavy or rough-looking, but sturdy enough that you can store them in the usual way you store your beloved ceramic utensils. 💭 PACKAGING & SHIPPING: You will receive your products excellently packed with high quality eco-friendly materials and secured with expanded EPS granules and 5-layer corrugated cardboard. 💭 MADE TO ORDER It is possible to make spoons according to your preferences, after specifying details: design, color, material, deadlines, price, etc. I also allow gift wrapping in your own style - tissue paper color, box cover or personalized message. If interested, please write to me. In case you need more pictures or information to make your choice, please contact me. I wish you much warmth, Ju.
