Hand-Carved Chuan & Ladle Set

$165.00

Extra-long wooden spatula and ladle, hand-carved and suited for large-format wok cooking.

Category: Curated

File Under: #KitchenTools, #Zakka, #HandCarved, #FunctionalObjects

Description

This set consists of a wooden spatula and ladle, both hand-carved and finished without mechanical refinement. The forms are direct and irregular, with tool marks and asymmetries visible along the handles and working ends.

The scale exceeds that of standard domestic utensils. The spatula measures approximately 21 inches in length; the ladle measures approximately 15.5 inches. Their length and proportions suggest use in high-heat, large-vessel cooking environments, such as restaurant or communal wok preparation.

The surfaces show wear consistent with long-term use. No applied coatings or decorative finishes are present.
