Product Insights
Handmade in India by artisan families in a direct-trade, generational brasscraft tradition, the Lucky Clover Small Spoons Set Of 2 (40 CAD, in stock) features recycled brass handles (using 90% less energy) and heat-resistant, food-safe stainless steel bowls. The 0.5–2 micron gold plating is unsealed, so it wears with use to reveal brass and develop a unique patina within months; hand-washing and immediate drying are required to avoid uneven stripping from dishwashers. Designed for espresso, tea, small portions, or condiments, the tradeoff is a living finish that evolves over time rather than staying pristine.

Deep Research
How gold-plated brass ages over time
- Because each spoon’s patina reacts to the acidity of the foods you stir, the frequency of handling, and even the humidity in your kitchen, no two sets age the same way — a spoon used daily for stirring chutney will develop a different tonal richness than one used only for dry sugar, making the set a personal artifact of your cooking habits.
- Unsealed gold-plated brass typically carries a gold layer just 0.5–2 microns thick, so regular use gradually reveals the underlying brass at contact points, creating a rich interplay of brown and charcoal patina — this 'living finish' is an intentional design choice that makes each spoon feel like a cherished antique within months, not years.
- Handmade in India from recycled brass, these spoons belong to a tradition where metal is often left without protective lacquer precisely to allow patina to form, meaning the evolving surface is an expected and celebrated sign of authenticity, not a quality compromise.
The craft tradition of handmade Indian brassware
- The use of recycled brass ties the spoons to the actual resourcefulness of Indian metalworkers who have historically repurposed materials, giving the product an inherent sustainable story that is woven into its making, not tacked on as a modern marketing claim.
- Doing Goods operates on a direct-trade model with Indian artisan families, ensuring that the spoons' handmade quality is matched by fair labor practices; buying them supports the preservation of these craft skills in a viable economic way.
- The spoons are produced within India's centuries-old brass handicraft tradition, where skills are passed down through generations; this means each spoon is shaped by hands that carry forward a legacy of artisanal metalworking, far removed from automated production.
Why recycled brass matters for your kitchen
- Producing brass from recycled scrap consumes up to 90% less energy than virgin ore extraction and smelting, meaning the embodied energy in these spoon handles is a fraction of what new brass would carry — a tangible carbon reduction for a small, everyday object.
- Doing Goods was founded on the principles of using recycled materials and preserving traditional Indian metalworking crafts, so the recycled brass is a core part of the brand’s identity — making these spoons part of a deliberate move toward circular design in housewares rather than an isolated eco-gesture.

Documents & Data
Q&A
5 answered- Are these spoons food-safe for direct contact with food, given they are made of gold-plated recycled brass?
- Yes, these spoons are food-safe. The bowl is made of stainless steel, which is food-grade and safe for direct contact with food, while the handle is gold-plated recycled brass. Gold is non-reactive and non-toxic, so it poses no health risk.
- How durable is the gold plating? Will it tarnish or wear off with regular hand washing and use?
- The gold plating on these spoons is delicate and can wear off over time, especially with frequent use or harsh cleaning. The manufacturer recommends hand-wash only, and gold plating is generally not as durable as stainless steel. With gentle hand washing and drying immediately, the finish should last well, but it may show signs of wear eventually.
- What are the typical recommended uses for these small spoons? Are they intended for salt, sugar, spices, or as stirrers?
- These small spoons are versatile and can be used as teaspoons, coffee spoons, or small dessert spoons. They are perfect for stirring tea or coffee, serving sugar, spices, or condiments like jams and spreads. The size (5 inches) makes them ideal for espresso cups, teacups, or small dishes.
- Can these spoons be used with hot foods or liquids, such as stirring hot tea or serving hot condiments?
- Yes, these spoons can be used with hot foods and liquids such as stirring hot tea or coffee. The stainless steel bowl is heat-resistant and food-safe, while the brass handle may become warm but is generally fine for short-term contact. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat to protect the gold plating.
- Are the spoons dishwasher safe despite the 'hand-wash' label, or will the gold plating be damaged in a dishwasher?
- No, these spoons are not dishwasher safe. The product clearly states hand-wash only, and using a dishwasher will likely damage the gold plating due to harsh detergents, high heat, and abrasion from other items. We recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying immediately to preserve the finish.
