Not-Just-A-Spoon Rest — this little hand-thrown piece does a lot more than park a spoon. Finished in our food-safe cone 6 glazes, it’s dishwasher-safe and microwaveable, ready for everyday kitchen challenges.
Most spoon rests are embossed on the interior with simple, gestural markings—everything from grasses, to a pineapple (a symbol of welcome), to sun-like motifs—so each one has its own personality.
A few ways to use it:
Spoon, ladle, or spatula rest (classic)
Colander drain catch for berries, rinsed herbs, or pasta
Small plate for oil & vinegar, salsas, or dips
Butter melter / warming dish (microwave-friendly)
Tea bag or lemon-wedge dish
And beyond the kitchen:
Soap dish or incense holder
Catch-all for keys or loose change
Tiny bedside tray for rings and earrings
Each piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind, with natural variations in shape, glaze, and markings.
Maker Michelle
Material Wheel-thrown stoneware
Finish Hand-applied glaze / oxidation firing

Each spoon rest is made individually and carries subtle variations in form and surface, reflecting the handmade process and the natural materials from which it is formed.
Michelle and Mike are potters who love to cook—and The Potter’s Kitchen Collection is where those two worlds meet. Inspired by the colors and textures of the season—eg., fresh garlic, berries, wild leeks, and fiddleheads—we focus our clay work on pieces made to live in the kitchen and come to the table often.
The collection includes handmade berry bowls and colanders, batter and mixing bowls, plates, spoon rests, salt cellars, garlic keepers, pasta bowl sets, and mugs—plus a small dash of our decorative favorites. Every piece is made by hand (wheel-thrown and hand-cast) and finished in food-safe glazes, fired to cone 6 in oxidation.
