The Stout Spoon | Hand-Forged Red Copper
$45

A Heavy Form for Sweet Rituals

Playful yet substantial, The Stout Spoon is defined by its exaggerated, generous bowl and deliberately short, ergonomic handle. Hand-forged from pure red copper, its silhouette is inspired by the primitive, chubby forms of ancient tools—a "chubby little figure" that celebrates human touch over machine precision.

The Ultimate Conductor

Because pure copper is an exceptional conductor of heat, the warmth from your hand travels instantly to the bowl. This makes it the ultimate artisan tool for effortlessly scooping ice cream or gelato, as the metal glides through the cold with ease. Beyond desserts, it serves beautifully as a weighted coffee measure or a tactile tea scoop for your daily ritual.

Care Ritual : Preserving Your Artifacts

Our collection is crafted from living metals and fine textiles designed to age gracefully alongside you. To preserve their integrity for generations, please observe the following principles:

Living Metal (Copper & Brass)

  • The First Use (Cookware): Wash gently with warm soapy water, dry completely, and apply a whisper-thin layer of cooking oil to condition the interior.
  • Hand Wash Only: Use mild soap and a soft sponge. Never use dishwashers, microwaves, or abrasive steel wool. (Avoid thermal shock: never rinse a hot pan with cold water).
  • Vital Precautions: Do not cook or store highly acidic/alkaline foods for prolonged periods. Raw metal is sensitive to moisture; always dry thoroughly immediately after washing and never store in damp conditions.
  • Embrace the Patina: The metal will naturally darken over time—a visual history of your rituals. To restore its original glow, polish gently with a lemon and salt paste.

Limited Edition Canvas & Textiles

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays may fade natural pigments and weaken organic fibers over time.
  • Gentle Dusting: Keep the surface pristine by lightly dusting with a soft, dry bristle brush or a lint-free cloth. Strictly avoid damp cloths or chemical cleaners.
  • Climate Control: Display or store your artwork in a well-ventilated space, away from excessive humidity or severe temperature shifts.
