Stoneware Spoon Rest - Common Winterberry
Best artisanal kitchen accessory for nature-inspired home cooks.
Introduce a bright, functional accent to your kitchen with this handmade stoneware spoon rest, perfect for keeping countertops clean during meal preparation or serving.

The process involves bisque-firing, glazing with a food-safe finish, and high-firing, ensuring each rest is a unique piece of functional art. It serves as an excellent gift for weddings, housewarmings, or holidays. While oven safe for serving up to 350°F, this item requires handwashing only and is not microwave safe.
