Unshaded Moon - Hand-Burned Decorative & Functional Spoon
$48.29
A crescent moon sits quietly at the heart of the bowl. Two curved lines, nothing more, clean, confident, and somehow exactly right. From there, a spiral unfurls downward like a held breath releasing, and the handle takes over entirely.
What Dani has done to that handle is genuinely hard to describe without sounding like you're exaggerating. The background has been burned almost completely dark, a rich, deep brown, and out of it emerge tangled vines, rolling waves, scattered flower heads, and curling tendrils. That all seem to grow around the wood rather than sit on it. There are tiny dot details tucked in between. The pattern shifts as it travels down the handle, so it never quite repeats itself. It wraps all the way around, covering every surface, finishing with a spiral at the very tip.
In terms of technique, this is pyrography - burning directly into beech wood using a heat pen. The dark background is the result of careful, sustained heat applied by hand, building up the tone gradually. It's time-consuming work, the sort where you can't rush a single section without the whole thing showing it. The moon itself is deliberately left un-shaded, which is where the name comes from. That contrast between the spare, light bowl and the dense, dark handle is the whole.
It holds its own next to anything - a witchy kitchen aesthetic, a farmhouse worktop, a shelf of ceramics and odd beautiful things. It also stirs soup perfectly well, which feels like a bonus at this point.
Hand made in Dani's studio in Hampshire. Sold as the single, unrepeatable object it is.
As each spoon is hand made, there is exactly one of these in the world, each spoon is special and unique, even if the Dini Doll pattern is the same. Once it's gone, it's gone.
This item has been treated with a food-safe, colorless, and odorless mineral oil which protects against moisture, stains, and cracking, requiring periodic reapplication for best results.

About The Artist
Dani works from a studio in Hampshire, across pyrography, oil painting, sculpture, textiles, and digital art. The common thread isn't a style or a material — it's a way of thinking. She starts with what she wants to say and works backwards to figure out what it should be made from. That approach keeps the work from ever sitting still, and it's why something like this spoon ends up feeling like a complete idea rather than a decorated object.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy.
Information I Collect
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order or order customisation, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
