Ginpo Hana Mishima Donabe Spoon and Spoon Rest Set - 2-Piece
This spoon (renge) and spoon rest (renge-oki) set is made of natural and durable Japanese clay, designed as a perfect match for your Japanese donabe hot pot. It features the iconic 'Hana Mishima' pattern, a traditional design of inlaid white flowers on a natural grey clay body.
You will see the original clay texture in the two dots (in various shapes) located on the base and at the end of the spoon handle. These are normal, a result of the traditional manufacturing process, and reflect the authentic, handcrafted nature of the pottery.
