Description
This ceramic spoon rest gives the side of the hob a bright, sunny lift, with the Fruits de Provence print scattered over a glossy white glaze. A halved pomegranate, a lemon, pears and round orange fruit fill the bowl, set among teal and mint green leaves with little pink and soft blue petals, and the print runs on up the handle to a pale blue flower at the tip. It is 26cm long, 9.3cm wide and 2.2cm high, long enough to cradle a wooden spoon, ladle or spatula, with a shallow bowl that catches the drips.
We think it earns its keep beside the hob, where it keeps messy spoons, spatulas and other utensils off the worktop while you cook, so there are fewer sticky rings to scrub away once dinner is served. Leave it out between meals and the fruit print does the work of a little kitchen decoration, adding warm oranges and fresh greens to a plain white, grey or marble counter. It sits happily alongside a utensil pot or a fruit bowl, and it works on the dining table too, giving serving spoons somewhere tidy to rest during a long family meal.
The spoon rest is made of ceramic with a smooth, glossy finish, and at 0.245KG it has enough weight to stay put when you lay a loaded spoon in it. The handle end lifts slightly from the worktop, which makes it easy to pick up and move to wherever you are stirring. For everyday care, wipe it with a warm, damp cloth after cooking and dry it with a soft tea towel; like any ceramic, it is best treated gently and kept away from hard knocks. Wrap it with a wooden spoon or two and it makes a cheerful little present that will be used every time the pans come out.
