Know before you buy
Yes, the smooth, matte white glaze is designed for easy cleanup. You can typically wipe it down with a damp cloth or wash it with mild soap and water after use.
This piece is specifically designed for a single standard spoon. While it works well for most everyday cooking utensils, larger tools like wide spatulas or deep ladles may not fit securely within its 4.5-inch diameter.
The base is crafted from high-quality ceramic. While it has a rustic, textured feel, it is finished to be safe for standard kitchen surfaces like granite, quartz, or laminate.
While the ceramic material is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the handcrafted finish and the matte glaze over time.
Yes, this spoon rest is specifically designed to complement the matching Fred James Pottery utensil holder, allowing you to create a cohesive look on your countertop.
