Tierra Negra Hand Made Small Serving Spoon

A small spoon for serving or eating small plates and bites. Using a method barely changed in 700 years, the spoons are first formed of a rough grey clay and allowed to dry before being covered in a bright terracotta slip. Once dry this is polished using smooth pebbles before firing, during which the addition of dried herbs and grasses transforms the red slip to black. These can be used carefully over a flame or on a hob, as long as sudden sharp changes in temperature are avoided, and are also suitable for use in the oven or microwave. Hand wash only. Measures 16cm in length with the bowl of the spoon measuring 3.5cm in width.
