Olive Wood Sugar Spoon With Black Batik Handle
Pickup available at MARGATE
Usually ready in 24 hours
Hand carved olive wood sugar spoon. Authentic black Batik handle. Serve any kind of sugar in your desired amount with our smooth, bowl-shaped scoop. The long, sturdy handle enables easy access to the bottom of tall containers. Versatile uses, such as baking, tea-making, and home-cooking.
The handle has been finished with sustainably sourced cow bone, helping to reduce wastage and continue cultural traditions. No two spoons are the same, making each one exclusive and individual.
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.

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.
