Brass Dessert Spoon | 160 mm

Handmade brass spoonfrom brassby Japanese metalworker Lue Brass. He makes these beautiful spoons by hammering a mould for the scoop and then attaching a brass strip as a handle, which he then shapes on a block of wood using various tools.

Over time, the brass undergoes a colour change through natural oxidation processes and develops a charming light brown patina, followed by rust tones. The original shine can be maintained by using a polishing cloth. Each piece has unique markings, such as small size differences, scratches or hammer marks.

Ruka (Lue) Kikuchi, the craftsman behind the Lue Brass brand has been making brass products such as cutlery and bowls in a modernist design since 2000 in Setouchi City, Okayama (Japan). Since then, he has become extremely well known in the design-loving scene beyond his national borders. Brass is his preferred material and the products are always handmade. Lue's aim is for his products to last a lifetime and give pleasure.

Although he makes all his work by hand, Ruka has recently started to take up industrial metalwork, i.e. cutlery made with the help of workshop machines.
