The spoon rest is crafted from ceramic and hand-painted by Italian artisans. The toucan measures about 20 cm in length and can hold cooking spoons, carving forks, or kitchen utensils up to 30 cm. Because each piece is hand-painted, color shades vary slightly from one to another — no two are exactly alike. Caja Company collaborates with small workshops in Italy that preserve traditional ceramic techniques.
You can use the spoon rest on your kitchen counter while cooking, keeping utensils handy without leaving stains on the surface. It also works as storage for jewelry on the bedside table, tealight holders on a table, or as a soap dish in the bathroom. Some hang it on the wall as a sculptural decoration — the toucan’s shape makes it easy to mount with a single hook.
Care and maintenance
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents as they can wear down the hand-painted surface. Not dishwasher safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a ceramic spoon rest and a porcelain spoon rest?
Ceramic is fired at a lower temperature than porcelain, resulting in a more porous and matte surface. Ceramic is more impact-resistant and easier to hand-paint with details — which is why it’s often used for decorative dishes like this toucan. Porcelain is denser and more translucent but also more fragile.
Can I wash the spoon rest in the dishwasher?
No, the hand-painted surface wears off from heat and dishwasher detergent. Instead, wipe it clean with a damp cloth. If food residue is stuck, soak it in lukewarm water first.
Can I use the toucan spoon rest to serve food?
The spoon rest is primarily designed for kitchen utensils and decoration — not for direct food contact. The ceramic is not glazed for food safety, so use it for dry items like bread or fruit, not wet dishes.
Is a ceramic toucan a good hostess gift?
Yes, especially for hosts who love colorful kitchen details or collect bird motifs. It’s practical enough for everyday use but special enough to stand out. Wrap it in tissue paper — ceramic can break if shaken too much during transport.
Why do colors vary on hand-painted ceramic dishes?
Because each toucan is painted manually by an artisan who mixes and applies the colors by hand. The firing temperature in the kiln also affects the final color shade — even small differences in placement can change the outcome. This is part of the charm of Italian craftsmanship.

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.
