The spoon rest is made of Italian faience and hand-painted with a pattern of green apples. Each spoon rest is individually painted, resulting in slight variations in color tone and brush strokes. Measures 27x12 cm and features a recessed area that holds the cooking spoon securely in place. Produced by Caja Company, specializing in hand-decorated ceramics from Italy.
Care and maintenance
Hand wash with mild dish soap to preserve the hand-painted decoration. Avoid the dishwasher, as high heat and strong detergents can wear down the colors and glaze over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between faience and stoneware for kitchen utensils?
Faience is fired at a lower temperature than stoneware and has a more porous clay body beneath the glaze. This makes faience lighter and allows for finer hand-painted decorations, while stoneware is more resistant to impact. For a spoon rest, faience is ideal since it mainly stays stationary on the table.
Can I use the spoon rest for hot cooking spoons straight from the pot?
Yes, the faience can handle hot cooking spoons without any issues. You may let the spoon cool for a few seconds if it has been in boiling liquid to avoid sudden temperature changes that could stress the glaze over time.
How do I wash hand-painted faience without damaging the decoration?
Wash by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth—avoid abrasive scrubbers. Dry immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, as repeated high heat and strong detergents can fade the hand-painted details.
Is a hand-painted spoon rest a good hostess gift?
Yes, a spoon rest in hand-painted Italian faience is a practical and personal hostess gift for someone who loves cooking. It is both functional and decorative, and the hand-painted apple motif gives it a charming character that stands out from standard utensils.
Where in Italy is Caja Company ceramics produced?
Caja Company collaborates with ceramic workshops in Italy that have a tradition of hand-painted faience. The exact region may vary, but Italian faience has roots in areas such as Tuscany and Umbria, where the craft has been cultivated for centuries.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
