Ihada Butter Knife
Raw sand-cast brass homeware, made by the Futagami foundry in Japan
£55.00
A delicate silver and brass knife for spreading butter and jams.
This stunning collection of handmade utensils is crafted in a Japanese foundry, Futagami, which dates back to the 19th Century. Forged using a sand-casting technique, the brass is left with a raw, crude ‘Ihada’ texture, adding to the piece’s overall character. Ihada castings also stand as a testament to the skill of their maker, for there is no disguising imperfections beneath an applied after-finish. Designed within the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-sabi, this piece will develop a beautiful warm patina with age and use.
Made using silver plated brass for the blade and solid cast brass for the handle.
Comes gift boxed.
