Description
I am an Ihada Soup Spoon. I-had-a soup spoon. It was the best.
Curator’s Notes
The latest addition to the Ihada cutlery collection is this soup spoon, designed by Oji Masanori for the renown Futagami foundry. Like the rest of the Ihada collection, the handle has a textured, faceted shape that is comfortable to hold and reminiscent of holding chopsticks. It has a nice weight, shorter length and angle but the best aspect is the charming and perfectly oval-shaped bowl.
