Know before you buy
This spoon is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the Purpleheart wood, hand wash it gently with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. We recommend occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood hydrated and vibrant.
While it is a functional serving piece, it is best suited for serving dry or semi-solid foods. Because it is hand-carved from natural wood, it is not intended for heavy-duty use or prolonged submersion in liquids.
Each spoon is a one-of-a-kind piece crafted by local Colombian artisans. While the parrot motif and dimensions remain consistent, you should expect slight variations in the wood grain and carving details, which are hallmarks of its handcrafted nature.
No, this spoon is not classified as non-scratch safe. The hand-carved edges of the Purpleheart wood may be firm enough to cause abrasions on delicate non-stick surfaces, so it is best used for serving rather than stirring or scraping pots.
The spoon measures 26 cm (approximately 10.24 inches) in total length, with a bowl width of 6 cm. It is sized specifically for serving sides, salads, or appetizers at the table.
