Textured Sterling Silver Tea Spoon
A hand-formed silver teaspoon shaped through repetition, use, and touch.
Each spoon is cast and refined in sterling silver, its surface carrying a subtle, irregular texture developed through making. The form sits comfortably in the hand; familiar, balanced, and grounded in the traditions of everyday objects.
Spoons are among the oldest tools of domestic life, shaped historically by hand, material, and necessity. This piece continues that lineage, translating a simple, functional object into a contemporary silver form.
The surface holds a quiet record of process. Light moves unevenly across it, revealing the slight variations that come from working by hand rather than machine.
Intended for daily use, the spoon becomes part of a personal ritual; held, used, and returned to over time. Through this repetition, it gathers its own history.
Each piece is individually made, with subtle differences in texture and form.
