Antique Jelly Spoon
The cutlery handles are sustainably made from stormcast stalks of the Forest kelp Laminaria hyperborea, which wash up on the shore during winter. These giant canopy seaweeds form huge hidden forests all around the Irish coastline and support a vast amount of life. Fish and shellfish graze on, hide, hunt and live in this vital biodiverse marine ecosystem. Like all seaweeds, the kelps absorb carbon and release oxygen. Over half our Oxygen comes from marine algae.
Caring For
The handles are made from organic material and are sealed with several coats of Tung oil and a final coat of linseed oil/beeswax over a 2 month period.
To clean, simply wipe with mild dish soap and warm water and pat dry. Not suitable for the dishwasher.
Condition the handles occasionally. We recommend a mineral or linseed oil - something suitable for chopping boards is fine.
The ferrules are either nickel or brass and can discolour/tarnish if left in a damp area. A light rub with extra fine steel wool or Brasso will restore.
Keep your Kelp Cutlery in a dry area.
