Description
Every collection needs one piece that makes you stop. This is it. The bowl is a clean, mirror-polished oval — precise, proportioned, entirely functional. The handle is cast in the full form of a fish: body tapering from a neat collar below the bowl, paired fins at mid-handle, and a split tail fanning out at the terminal. It is figurative without being folksy, playful without losing its poise.
Made by artisans of Pilimathalawa, Kandy, where the ability to cast a recognisable form in metal with this level of refinement speaks to generations of accumulated skill. A teaspoon that earns its place at the table — and makes an exceptional gift.
Each piece is finished by hand. Slight variation in cast detail is the nature of the craft, not a defect.
