With a background in jewellery making Nikkei Misae began experimenting with making cutlery during lockdown. At a time when eating out in restaurants was severely restricted, Nikkei began using her skills as a jewellery maker to craft handmade pieces of the kind found in high end restaurants. By crafting her own eating utensils, Nikkei found that she could create the atmosphere of a special occasion even within the confines of her home. Cutlery has since become her bread and butter, making up the majority of the items she crafts.
We collaborated with Nikkei to create this beautiful collection of handcrafted brassware that includes the Bident and Scorpion Serving Spoon and Fork, Spice Spoon, Tea Strainer and Petal and Ball Dish as well as the beautifully decorated Lines and Leaves Spoon. All of these items were crafted entirely by hand by Nikkei Misae in Kyoto Japan and are available for purchase in our shop.
