These bird-shaped hand carved and hand painted ceramic tools add charm and solve two prep tasks: stripping herbs and grating garlic. The curved “wing” with slots pulls leaves from stems without bruising; on the other side, the textured wing grates garlic into a fine paste. Small-batch, food-safe, and unique, each piece is both a useful tool and a sweet kitchen companion—great for gifting or keeping for yourself.
*All of my work is handmade using slabs, pinching or coiling methods so you may see how my hands manipulated the clay with their perfect imperfections. They can be put in the microwave or the dishwasher, but as with any handmade item, they will last much longer with handwashing and gentle care. These pieces take hours to create, so show them some love.
Due to this being handmade, each piece varies in size/color. This herb stripper/garlic grater is approximately 3 1/2” long and 1” tall.
