Animal Design Series Children's Spoon

These beautifully crafted Yamanaka Lacquerware children's spoons are wonderful additions to the table when enjoying a meal with children. 

These spoons come in four different designs of a bunny blowing bubbles, a friendly elephant, a smiling lion, and a happy cat. Each handle also has a different small design on it. All the drawings on the spoons are hand-drawn with care, giving a simple yet warm expression to all the animal designs.

The shape of the spoon is designed to fit comfortably in small hands. Even if your child grows up, it is a good size for eating "chawanmushi" (steamed egg custard) or desserts as a small spoon.

Match these forks with plates, bowls, and forks with the same design to make a cute tableware set for your children or as a gift set. See more cute children's tableware items in our Children's Tableware collection. 

Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen (hot spring) district of Kaga, Ishikawa prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends the natural elegance of the wood grain with the elegant maki-e technique of sprinkling gold, silver, or other colored powder onto a lacquer painting.

With its beautiful wood texture, delicate and robust Yamanaka Lacquerware is evolving day by day, incorporating a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.
