Mother of Pearl Caviar Set - Plate & Spoon

A handcrafted mother-of-pearl caviar set with a 5-inch plate and 4-inch spoon, designed to elegantly serve caviar, appetisers and canapés at home.

What Is Included in the Mother-of-Pearl Caviar Set?

This elegant set includes one hand-finished mother-of-pearl serving plate and one matching 4-inch spoon. Together, they give you everything needed to present fine caviar in the traditional way.

Mother of pearl is naturally non-reactive, so it does not introduce the metallic note that ordinary cutlery can bring to delicate roe. Its soft iridescence also makes every serving feel a little more special, whether you are opening a tin for two or setting out an elegant starter for guests.

How to Use a Mother-of-Pearl Caviar Set

Use the plate as an individual caviar dish or a small presentation plate for blinis, crème fraîche and roe. The matching spoon is ideal for gently portioning caviar without affecting its clean, buttery flavour.

• Serve caviar on warm blinis with crème fraîche and finely chopped chives.
• Arrange a small tasting of caviar on quail egg halves or crisp potato rösti.
• Use the plate for other small gourmet bites, such as foie gras, smoked salmon or a carefully made canapé.
• For best presentation, chill the plate in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving.

A Simple Serving Tip

Keep the caviar tin on crushed ice until ready to serve in a glass caviar bowl, then transfer small spoonfuls to the plate just before eating. This keeps the roe cool while allowing its delicate texture and flavour to shine.

Vietnamese Mother-of-Pearl Craftsmanship

This set is made in Vietnam by Viet Craft, primarily in Thụy Ứng near Hanoi. The historic artisan village has worked with natural materials for more than 400 years and is especially known for its long tradition of hand-carving horn, shell and other natural materials.

Each plate and spoon is individually hand-finished from natural mother-of-pearl shell. Gentle differences in shape, colour, shimmer and pattern are part of the material’s natural appeal, making every set subtly individual.

Mother of pearl has long been prized for caviar service because it is beautiful, practical and flavour-neutral. This set makes a thoughtful gift for caviar lovers and an elegant addition to a special-occasion table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use mother of pearl for caviar?

Mother of pearl is flavour-neutral, so it helps preserve caviar’s delicate buttery and lightly saline character. Metal spoons, particularly silver, can sometimes add a metallic note.

Can I put the plate in the freezer before serving?

No. Chilling it in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes is ideal, but freezing may cause the natural shell layers to crack or lose their lustre.

Can I put the mother-of-pearl plate or spoon in the dishwasher?

No. Dishwashers, harsh detergents and prolonged heat can damage the polished surface and natural shell layers. Hand-wash the set gently, dry it promptly and store it carefully after use.

Is each set identical?

No. As natural mother of pearl is individually hand-finished, subtle variations in colour, pattern and shape are part of the set’s character.
