Stoveside stunner.
Splatter? Not on this spoon rest’s watch. This gem has a picture-perfect shape for cradling your go-to stirrer. It was formed from stoneware, then hand-trimmed and given a creamy glaze all over, all in a small studio in San Diego. Take a close look at the bottom, and you’ll see its raw, natural texture peeking through—a nice little reminder of how it was made.

For Jonathan Sawyer, it all starts with a lump of clay. He works away at his potter's wheel in his San Diego studio to create pieces that are functional while retaining unique, handmade charm. Even better, every piece he crafts utilizes entirely lead-free glazes, meaning that they're good for use in the microwave, dishwasher, and oven.

Really Love My Spoon Rest
I've had this for a few months now and I love it. Simple and elegant and it holds my utensils perfectly, as well as snacks. One thing that drew me to this spoon rest was the vanilla bean hue. Thinking of purchasing the brown one now as well.
Form and function - CHECK
This little spoon rest does the job perfectly. No matter what size spoon, spatch, or sort of utensil I place on it, it fits perfectly. I small detail that is very important when cooking.
Perfect spoor rest
First of all this spoon rest looks like a little piece of art but in addition its size and weight makes it sturdy enough to rest my spoons (haha) without tipping over or my spoon falling out. So great functionality meets gorgeous form. A winning combo.
