Mother-of-pearl caviar spoons, set of 4, L 11 cm – rounded corners

Each of these four spoons is shaped by hand from Pinctada Maxima shell — the gold and silver lip oyster — which gives the bowl a dense, smooth surface and a colour that shifts quietly between iridescent tones depending on the light. The rounded corners give this set a softer profile that sits gently on the tongue.

Mother-of-pearl is genuinely tasteless, which is why it has long been the material of choice for caviar and delicate egg dishes: it lets the food speak entirely for itself. Because each spoon is made by hand, the grain and shade will vary slightly from piece to piece.

• Pinctada Maxima mother-of-pearl, handmade — each piece unique in grain and tone
• Tasteless material, suitable for caviar, eggs and delicatessen
• Length 11 cm, rounded corners; set of 4
