Mother of Pearl Caviar Spoon Set

A gift-boxed pair of 4-inch mother-of-pearl caviar spoons, handcrafted to serve fine roe for two while preserving its delicate, buttery flavour.

What Is a Mother-of-Pearl Caviar Spoon Set?

This elegant set contains two matching mother-of-pearl spoons, presented in a gift box for caviar lovers, hosts and anyone creating a special dinner at home. Each spoon is crafted from natural shell, with its own subtle variation in colour and iridescence.

Mother of pearl is traditionally used for serving caviar because it is flavour-neutral. It lets the buttery, briny character of fine roe come through clearly, without the metallic note ordinary cutlery can introduce.

How to Use Mother-of-Pearl Caviar Spoons

The pair is ideal for sharing a tin of caviar as an aperitif or elegant starter. Give each guest their own spoon to taste the roe neatly, or use them to add a modest spoonful to blinis, quail eggs or potato rösti.

• Serve Siberian sturgeon caviar directly from a chilled tin or caviar bowl.
• Set one spoon alongside each guest’s blini, crème fraîche and caviar canapé.
• Use them for small portions of smoked salmon, soft scrambled egg, foie gras or other delicate gourmet foods.
• Pair them with a glass caviar bowl to keep the caviar attractively presented over ice.

A Simple Serving Tip

Open the chilled tin with our caviar tin-opening key, then give each guest their own mother-of-pearl spoon. This small detail makes a shared caviar tasting feel especially considered.

Vietnamese Mother-of-Pearl Craftsmanship

These spoons are 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 heritage of hand-carving horn, shell and other natural materials.

The material’s soft lustre and subtle natural variation are part of its character, so no two sets look completely identical. Beautifully boxed and useful long after the first occasion, this pair makes a thoughtful gift alongside caviar, sparkling wine or a gourmet hamper.

Care Instructions

Hand-wash gently in warm, soapy water and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Do not soak for long periods, use harsh cleaning products or place the spoons in a dishwasher. As mother of pearl is a natural material, handle it with care and avoid sharp temperature changes. Once completely dry, store the spoons flat in their original gift box or a dedicated velvet pouch, rather than loose with heavy stainless-steel utensils.

Can I use these spoons for foods other than caviar?

Are the two spoons identical?
