Spoon

Nepali spoons, also known as "Kaudi" or "Koraa" in Nepali language, are unique and traditional utensils used for cooking and serving food in Nepal. They are made of wood, primarily from the branches of the walnut tree, which is abundant in the country. Nepali spoons are crafted by skilled artisans who use traditional techniques to create these beautiful and functional utensils.
One of the distinctive features of Nepali spoons is their shape. They have a long and slender handle with a bowl-shaped end, which is perfect for scooping and serving food. The handles are also typically decorated with intricate carvings or designs, adding to their aesthetic appeal.

Nepali spoons are commonly used in households and restaurants throughout the country. They are perfect for serving traditional Nepali dishes, such as daal-bhaat-tarkari (lentils, rice, and curry), momos (dumplings), and chow mein (stir-fried noodles). The spoons are also popular for cooking, particularly for stirring and mixing ingredients in large pots and pans.

Aside from their practical uses, Nepali spoons are also considered as an essential part of Nepali culture and heritage. They are often used in traditional ceremonies and rituals, such as weddings and religious festivals, where they symbolize purity, tradition, and continuity.

Overall, Nepali spoons are a unique and functional utensil that embodies the rich cultural heritage of Nepal. They are not only an essential part of Nepali cuisine but also hold significant cultural and traditional value.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.
