The spoon comes in a small muslin, drawstring bag.<br />The carved handle resembles a goldfish tail, and makes the spoon easy to<br />hold and balance for scooping and serving.<br /><br />We are using this for serving salt from a salt bowl, and it  looks beautiful on the table.<br />The spoon bowl holds 1 heaping Tablespoon +.<br /><br />Azfelia (Doussie) wood is a hard, very durable tropical wood.<br />With its natural antibacterial properties, Doussie is perfect for the kitchen.<br />The beautiful red color of Doussie wood closely resembles Mahogany,<br />but without the high price and environmental/sustainability issues of real Mahogany.<br /><br />Doussie wood is susceptible to cracking, and should never become too dried out, nor exposed<br />to severe temperature changes. Hand washing with soap and water, and a thin coat of food grade oil  (e.g. olive ) after drying will keep the spoon in great shape.
