Large, hand-carved wooden ladle / serving spoon by Uda Masashi from February 2026.

Featuring a long, two-tone handle ending in a deep, angled bowl with small spout, this elegant utensil is perfect for soup or serving.

Designed either to stand vertically on its end, or to hang from the built-in leather strap - it's a beautiful and practical addition for any kitchen.

Uda Masashi is a woodcarver based deep in the countryside in Saitama, Japan. He has a profound respect for his materials and his process is slow and considered - using small, repetitive movements of simple tools, he follows the flow and grain and allows the wood to inform the work's final expression.

Masashi's pieces are made mostly from Japanese cherry, walnut and oak, which has been responsibly and sustainably sourced. It is often stained using traditional dying techniques based on iron and vinegar.
