What Makes It Uncommon

Massachusetts, you can show your state pride while you whip up that signature dish. Kerry Brooks’ hand-sculpted stoneware pieces are a safe (and pretty) place to set your spoon between stirs.

  • Designed not to wobble, the sturdy spoon rests are finished in food-safe glazes.
  • Stamped with the state name and a leaf of its tree on the back.
  • They’re not just for spoons. Keep one next to the sink to hold rings or to catch jewelry on a dresser.
  • Each functional piece of art is one-of-a-kind and will vary.
  • Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Hand-sculpted of stoneware clay in Minnesota.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Minnesota

Potter Kerry Brooks was heading towards a PhD in American Cultures from the University of Michigan before she decided to move to Ann Arbor and train in ceramics instead, from 1988 to 1992. The next year, she moved to Minneapolis, and co-founded a four-person pottery collective the year after that. The other three potters eventually moved on, so she's run the business herself for the last 15 years. As an employer (currently of 45 people) and gallery host, she has influenced the next generation of Minnesota clay artists, and many of her employees are artists in their own right. Pottery remains Kerry's passion, but she loves to travel and sing when she's not running her business, doing philanthropic work, or raising her daughter.

A Beautiful Masterpiece

I got much more than I expected. Each state (I got two) has such lovely detail and with really rich color. They are sturdy and have a good weight to them. I don't even dare use them as a spoon rest, I have them displayed of the two beautiful states that I call home. They are wonderful additions, whether you use them decoratively (like me) or functionally!

Love this product!

This is such a unique product. Bought two as gifts to bring to friends. The quality is outstanding and the spoon rest itself is a piece of art. Both friends loved their gifts.

Great gift!

These little states are a fun, unique gift. Well made and can have a variety of uses. I bought 3 of them for my friends. They came thoughtfully packaged for giving with a card about the maker. I would recommend this item.

Great hostess or graduation gift!

This spoon rest lets you highlight the state they live in or went to school in and is very high quality. It's the perfect counter size, just right for a large spoon but not overwhelming on the counter. I got one for a college grad who is staying in her 'new' state to memorialize her home state.

Great gift for an "ex-pat"

My adult son moved out of state after college for his job. (Boy, do we miss him!) Because he loves to cook, I bought this spoon rest to remind him of his original home. He loved receiving it and says he always thinks of us (and his hometown) whenever he's busy at the stove.

Great gift idea for your friends from California!

Fantastic item. Well-made, well packaged. Came back for another state. All states not always available (understandable!). Order when you can.

We're sorry! The maker glazes each state with a consistent color.

How much does this item weigh? I will be traveling and wanting to pack sure it is not too heavy

Verified reply from Amy

Hi Angela! They vary per state but are between 1 and 1.5 lbs without packaging.

  • TX

Is the surface of of the spoon rest flat or contour (so it could actually catch the drips)?

Verified reply from Amy

Each of these spoon rests has a curve to it to catch drips! The exact shape varies a little from state to state, and also due the nature of each of these being a little different from each other, as they are handcrafted.

  • Utah

Verified reply from Leslie

Hi there! The dimensions for Texas are 6.6" x 6.4" x 2.3", and for Ohio 5.6" x 5.4" x 2.4".
