Most spoon rests are an afterthought. This one is a centerpiece.

We chose the Agrarian Spoon Rest because it elevates the messiest part of cooking. Hand-thrown in Vermont, its organic, curved form is designed to cradle everything from a tasting spoon to a heavy soup ladle, keeping your counters clean.

But it is too beautiful to just sit by the stove. The "Stone Grey" glaze and perfect 5-inch diameter make it a secret weapon for entertaining—use it as a small plate for olive pits, a tea bag coaster, or a dipping dish for olive oil and bread.

Why We Love It:

  • The Glaze: The "Stone" finish highlights the iron flecks in the clay, giving it a rugged, natural look.
  • The Utility: Wide enough (5.25") to catch drips from your largest ladle.
  • The Versatility: It’s a spoon rest by day and an olive/snack dish by night.

Specifications:

  • Material: American Stoneware Clay
  • Dimensions: 5.25" Diameter x 1" Height
  • Care: Dishwasher Safe (Easy cleanup)
  • Origin: Hand-thrown in Woodstock, VT

Built for Daily Life
Farmhouse Pottery is designed to be used, not just admired. These pieces are durable American stoneware, fired at high temperatures to ensure strength for the kitchen and table.

  • Dishwasher Safe: Yes, these are built for modern kitchens and daily wash cycles.
  • Oven & Microwave Safe: Ideal for baking, warming leftovers, or reheating. The stoneware distributes heat evenly for consistent results.
  • Thermal Shock: Like all authentic stoneware, avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., do not take a piece directly from the freezer to a hot oven).
  • Stains: The high-density glaze resists staining, whether from hot coffee, red wine, or bright spices.

100% American Made
Every vessel begins as a lump of American-mined clay in the Woodstock, Vermont studio.

  1. Wheel Thrown: A master potter throws the shape by hand on a wheel—no molds are used.
  2. The "Two-Tone" Dip: Each piece is dipped in a creamy white glaze, leaving the bottom unglazed to reveal the raw, organic texture of the stoneware.
  3. Single Fired: The pottery is fired once at incredibly high heat, creating a bond that is stronger and more energy-efficient than traditional methods.

The Mark of the Maker
Because these pieces are thrown by real people—not molds—slight variations are part of the beauty. You may notice subtle differences in height, rim thickness, or the exact line where the glaze meets the clay. These are the fingerprints of the process, ensuring that your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
