Ceramic Soup Spoon - Oribe Green

Azmaya

• Introduction

  I am an Oribe Green Ceramic Soup spoon. Encircling a bowl of steaming soup is a job I can do like any ol' orb, but doing it with an oribe suit makes me out of this world.

   

• Curator's Notes 

  The large surface of this traditional Asian soup spoon, inspired by a butterfly resting at the tip of a lotus petal, has so much area for aromas to mingle. This particular interpretation of the common utensil is made with Japanese cuisine in mind, with a smaller bowl that can comfortably fit in the mouth, and a smooth flat bottom that can stand on its own. The way in which Azmaya uses earth inspired glazes for each spoon in this collection adds to the multi-sensory experience with rich texture and color for each scoop of rice, soup or hot-pot!
