Pottery is almost always at home in the kitchen, and this Sango Nova ceramic spoon rest is a great example. At once lovely and warm, the piece adds a pretty touch of décor while keeping cooking utensils from messing up the stovetop. Designed with a large, deep bowl, the rest holds multiple utensils at one time, and its arced handle makes grasping tools easier. Most attractive of all, the piece's glazing features graduated bands of color that fade into each other for a dynamic but subtle look. Available in brown, blue, black, and pearltone gold versions, the spoon rest measures 10 inches long and is safe in the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard
