Tree Bark Textured Spoon Rest - Stoneware Ceramics MD a lab technicianThis is a stoneware, ceramic spoon rest with a tree bark texture. This was handmade and painted with ceramic glazes and underglazes. It measures 5 and a half inches across. The glaze is mostly brown, but it did do some cool things with the texture so I've included a few close up photos. Vitrified stoneware is technically microwave and dishwasher safe, but dishwashers can be rough on ceramics, so hand washing is recommended.
