AARVEN hand carved olive wood small sugar spoon with decorative green Batik handle. We love this spoon for tasting sauces, scooping jam and spooning sugar into tea or coffee.

The handle has been finished with sustainably sourced cow bone, helping to reduce wastage and continue cultural traditions. The hand drawn batik pattern is completely unique on every spoon, making each one exclusive and individual. 

Please note that the shade of green can vary from light to dark as per the images adding to the unique nature of these spoons. This listing is for one spoon.

WHO MADE YOUR SPOON?

The contemporary wooden products are hand carved in a Nairobi workshop run by one of the founders of the popular Maasai Market in Westlands, Zephania.

These items are made from Wild Olive wood that is all sustainably sourced from Zephania’s own plantations in his hometown, Kissi, where he continually re-plants trees.

CARE

Olive wood has an excellent reputation for being harder and less porous than other woods. We recommend hand washing your wooden utensils with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid boiling water and dishwashers as high temperatures may cause the wood to expand and split. Always towel dry after washing to prevent moisture cracks.

The same measures apply to wooden utensils with horn or bone accents.

Treat them once a month with a food safe mineral oil (we like to use olive oil). Simply rub in a small amount with a soft cloth to condition the wood and restore its warm, polished look.
