It’s surprisingly heavy in the hand, which makes it feel properly made—and that slipware loop on the side is a nice touch that stops it sliding around.

The honey glaze has this warm depth that photos don’t quite capture, and the weight keeps it planted even when I set a heavy ladle down. It’s become a little ritual piece on my counter, the painted loop catching the light. Handmade feel is exactly right—no two spots are identical.

I was worried it might tip over with a heavy spoon, but the weight is just right—solid without being clunky. The painted loop details are a lovely touch that photographs much better than I expected.
