Know before you buy
Yes, brass is a reactive metal that will naturally develop a patina with exposure to air and moisture. If you prefer a bright, polished look, you can periodically clean it with a brass-specific polish.
No, this piece should be hand-washed only. The combination of the brass blade and the glazed terracotta handle requires gentle care to prevent damage to the finish and the ceramic material.
The nautilus shell shape is designed to be ergonomic, providing a substantial grip that fits naturally in the palm. While it is a decorative piece, the texture offers enough purchase to spread butter or soft cheeses with ease.
While the handle is durable, it is made of glazed terracotta, which can chip or crack if dropped on hard surfaces like stone or tile. We recommend handling it with the same care you would use for fine ceramic serveware.
This tool is best suited for soft spreads like room-temperature butter, cream cheese, or jams. Because it is a decorative spreader, it is not intended for use with hard, refrigerated butter or dense ingredients.
