Wooden serving spoon by Uda Masashi from March 2025.

Inspired by the demure silhouette of a kokeshi (or traditional doll), this large, elegant serving spoon has been designed to stand on its handle, making it not only a beautiful object when not in use, but space effective in a busy kitchen as well.

It also has a leather cord looped through the end of its handle, allowing it to be hung out of the way.
