Here's The Scoop!
Your morning "cuppa" doesn't have to be boring. Add a lovely rustic touch to your kitchen with this hand crafted coffee scoop made from copper and an antique silver fork. With its 2-heaping-tablespoon capacity, it is ideal for measuring out coffee beans or grounds for that perfect cup, and the classy silverplate handle adds to it's one-of-a-kind character. It could easily become a treasured part of someone’s daily coffee ritual. Of course, it could also be used to measure tea, cocoa, or any dry ingredient.
I made the copper scoop portion from a piece of an old copper pipe that I cut and flared open, flattened, cut into a 2-1/2 inch circle, hand hammered into a cup shape - and Voilà! A super cool copper scoop. The handle is made from an antique silverplate (1847 Rogers Bros) fork - pattern name "Heraldic", patented 1916. A truly unique and one-of-a-kind functional work of art for your kitchen.
This would be a perfect gift for the coffee or tea lover - including yourself. Beautiful, unique, and useful - this scoop will fit right in to any decor with its elegantly handcrafted design.

Each coffee spoon is made by hand. There will be slight variances from one to another because, well, they're hand made.
Note: Tarnish happens! Upon purchase, the scoop will be polished top to bottom. Copper and silver will eventually tarnish, no matter what coating is applied. The copper will get a rich dark patina. As a copper metal worker, I embrace the look of aged copper. But, I will send a polishing cloth for you to restore the original look of shiny copper, should you so desire. Wash with a damp cloth (not in a dishwasher), restore the shine with the included polishing cloth. Or use paste polishes made for copper and silver (like Wright’s Copper Cream, etc.).
