Our Laurel Spoon Rest, small but mighty, is one of the first pots that an apprentice learns to make at Farmhouse Pottery. With its spout and signature laurel stamp, it is the perfect introduction to both our line and our craft.

The distinctive laurel stamp isn’t just a decorative element; it is a symbol of our commitment to quality and handcraft. It’s a key part of the farmhouse culture that runs through everything we make.

Here’s the best part: this piece is secretly a kitchen workhorse. Use it to dip bread into olive oil, as the base for a pillar candle, to hold a chilled bottle of wine, or even as a small candy dish. It’s more than just a piece that sits near your stove — meet the newest and most versatile addition to your kitchen.

Another simple one, with Farmhouse Pottery’s signature stamp in the middle. The wide lip is nice for bigger items like a flat spatula.
