Custom Brass Wrought Iron Utensil Set

This is a custom made utensils set made from hand hammered brass and wrought iron. The iron is 1/4 in stock and the brass is 18 gauge. Overall length of the spoons and ladle are 15 1/2" long the spatula is 15 1/4" long and 3 1/4 wide. The ladle is 4 1/8 " wide and holds around 3 ounces. The handles are close matching and have a simple twist. Because everything is hand made, they are each different in there own ways and have minor imperfections. The holder and hooks are included. The length of the hanger is 9" long and each hook can be moved to add extra hooks for other utensils or pot holders. The hooks are made from square nails and the holder is made from 1/2" flat iron. All the iron is coated with bees wax to help protect the finish. The brass was just polished and has no coatings applied. It is recommended to hand wash and dry each piece after using. Brass will tarnish after time and can be polished with any brass cleaner. The iron will rust if left in water for any length of time. If you hand wash and dry after each use this finish will last for many years.   $175.00 for the set. 


Vermont Red Jasper Pendant

This Vermont Red Jasper pendant was recently made and is currently up for sale.  This Jasper was mined in Colchester Vermont many years ago.  The mine is not open to the public and is owned privately.  Shaped into a heart this pendant  is wrapped in 18k gold wire.  I use only the highest quality gold filled wire available to the market.  A combination of square and half round wire was used in the design.  A 18" gold filled chain is included with the pendant.  Please contact me if you are interested.  $85.00

Crosby's Vermont Elderberry Vinegar

Crosby's Vermont elderberry vinegar was hand crafted using my locally grown elderberries from Leicester, Vermont.  Using a well know British recipe, only the ripest elderberries were used.   This unique vinegar has a fruity well balanced flavor and is loaded with vitamin C.    A  flavorful vinegar that can be used in your favorite salad dressing or or used in your favorite recipe.  Great on chicken or wild game!    Bottles are currently for sale for $12.00 plus shipping.   Please send me a message along with your address and I'll get back to you.   Also check out the link below for a special story about this specialty vinegar from Culinary Types.  Also check out the new Crosby's Acorn Vinegar also available.
