Something like the ones here [[https://www.samanthaboothart.com/listing/692806068/coffee-spoon-rest-teaspoon-rest-spoon]]

I just use a nibbles dish, high enough around the edges to accommodate about 10 teabags and the spoon

Stopping by to make sure you keep yarn bowls on your list @Sevensilverrings

Thank you @Sevensilverrings. I haven't been this excited in a long time.
Everybody, I will send a picture in due course.

Oh and I love the concept of Tsukumogami. I believe in having things around my house that are useful, beautiful, and meaningful. The teaspoon rest will be the epitome of this concept!

They are so beautiful, what a talent @Sevensilverrings.

Which ones did you go for @PeaceLoveAndCandy? I just want to imagine them in their new home, nestling with their new teaspoon friends. What a brilliant end to a lovely story.

I love this thread so much. What a wonderful soul you are, Sevensilverrings. In my alternative fantasy life I have a rambling farmhouse with space for a loom and a kiln and a workshop and the time and talent to actually make beautiful things

JaneJeffer · 08/02/2021 13:15

@Sevensilverrings you should post that on the thread about the malevolent wardrobe
Your pottery is beautiful.

Just to support the theory that teaspoons should be hugged, I present the Japanese theory of Tsukumogami, a Shinto teaching that after 100 years of serving us, our household objects are given a soul, and the nature of the soul is decided by how they were treated by us. We all need a bit of whimsy right now...!

I’ve parcelled up you package @PeaceLoveAndCandy, hopefully get in posted by Wednesday, definitely by end of week. (We live in the middle of nowhere)!

I feel like this should be in classics!

Has restored my faith in humanity during what is a very difficult time for us all

What a beautiful thread, and beautiful spoon holders @Sevensilverrings you're very talented. If they make hugging spoon holders on the Pottery Throwdown this evening my life will be complete.

@Sevensilverrings

Also...from a ‘passing it forward’ point of view...the glass melted in the bottom is from a trip to Venice glass factories two years ago where I got talking about ceramic glass melts to a very very old glass blower, and he gifted me a sack of offcut glass in the most amazing colours. It was such a lovely gift, and one that’s put a little love and Italian sunshine in the bottom of every pot since, including these ones.

I've gone now.

@Sevensilverrings You clever, wonderful soul.

newname2021 · 07/02/2021 17:38

I've just seen this thread for the first time. When I started out I had no idea what you would need said teaspoon rest for. When I got to the photo of the nested rests I let out an audible 'oooo'.

Now I need not only a teaspoon rest but a nested set of teaspoon rests.
