Signature Housewares Sorrento Collection Spoon Rest, Ivory Antiqued Finish
Created by tableware designer and gourmet cook Debbie Segura in 2001, Sorrento is perhaps Signature Houseware's most popular dinnerware pattern. Sorrento stoneware suits almost any kitchen décor with its rustic, Italian countryside feel, showing a raised dot and olive leaf patterning on most of the solid-colored, thickly-glazed pieces. Square plates are also available, and bakeware and glassware complete the extensive collection, now available in more than half a dozen colors ranging from neutral suede to bright ruby red.A perfect accessory gift for the Sorrento dinnerware collector, this spoon rest sits on or next to the stove (not on a burner) to hold messy spoons after stirring a pot. The spoon-shaped spoon rest measures 10 by 4-1/2 inches, and is outlined with a row of the raised dots found on other Sorrento pieces. A delicate, floral-like design of olive fruit and leaves decorates the interior of the glazed spoon. Made of lead-free, chip-resistant stoneware, the spoon rest is safe for oven or microwave use, should that ever be required, and slips into the dishwasher for easy clean-up after use.--Ann Bieri
