One sterling silver espresso spoon shaped as a miniature shovel — scaled perfectly for demitasse cups and small desserts. Each measures approximately 3 inches.

The design is deliberate: a rounded spade head with mirror-polished finish, a slender tapered shaft, and a D-shaped handle grip that echoes full-scale tool proportions. The negative space within the grip creates a geometric frame — intentional, not decorative.

Hand-fabricated from solid sterling silver. Each spoon is individually formed and polished, resulting in subtle variations in handle angle and curve. These differences are evidence of handwork. The polished surfaces reflect their surroundings — coffee, ceramic, light — making them interactive objects that shift with context.

This set functions as both tool and conversation piece. The shovel form is immediately recognizable yet refined enough for formal settings. Clean lines, honest material, quiet humor.

This is a single shovel for the solo digger. Variations in form and patina celebrate their handmade character.
