Ceramic Spoon

Masanobu Ando

• Introduction

  I am a Ceramic Spoon. When hopes and dreams have flown the coop, nothing heals like a hearty soup.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  Also known as a "duck spoon", the Chinese soup spoon has been used since 2000 BC, apparently once more common than chopsticks! These spoons are characterized by a deep basin tapering to a short, wide handle, and the ability to stack easily for storage. Masanobu Ando's take on the traditional spoon resembles a petal plucked from a daisy. I love how the glaze varies slightly thoughout the piece, growing more transparent along each edge so that the raw ceramic beneath is visible. The thick, curved handle is durable, and the high sides of the spoon's basin allow it to hold more liquid for maximum enjoyment of tasty broth. Also makes for stunning presentation of hors d'oeuvres - a beautiful way to showcase a single bite.
