A handcrafted ceramic scoop, designed for the tea ceremony to retrieve tea leaves from a bag or storage jar, present them to guests, and gracefully transfer them into the teapot.
The elongated shape, inspired by the natural curve of bamboo, features slightly upturned edges to securely cradle the tea leaves. Its surface is smooth, yet subtly textured, with a gentle gradient of warm, earthy tones. These tones are the result of the wood-firing process, which imbues each scoop with unique markings and a sense of organic vitality.
Lightweight and well-balanced, this scoop is not only functional but also a tactile and visual delight. Each piece is one of a kind, shaped by both the hands of the maker and the unpredictable nature of wood-firing, making it a cherished addition to any tea ceremony.
Scoop dimensions: 5.5 x 1.7 x 0.9 in // 14 x 4.2 x 2.2 cm
