Know before you buy
No, this spoon is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish and integrity of the brass, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately.
Because it is made of solid brass, the spoon will naturally develop a rich, darkened patina as it reacts to air and moisture. This is a characteristic feature of the material and adds a unique, vintage-inspired character to the piece.
While it is perfectly suited for stirring tea or measuring loose-leaf tea, it is a delicate, artisanal tool. It is best reserved for tea rituals and dessert service rather than heavy-duty kitchen prep.
The spoon measures 6 1/4 inches in length, making it an ideal size for standard tea cups and dessert bowls.
No, because each spoon is meticulously crafted by master artisans in Japan, the hand-hammered texture will vary slightly from piece to piece. This ensures that every spoon has its own distinct, one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
