The 01 Gold is the same proven spoon as the 01 Silver - same Niigata workshop, same Mr. Okada, same stamped and lathe-finished construction, same precise one-tablespoon capacity - finished in gold plating that gives it a warmer, richer look on the pass or the plate. Where the silver version blends into the working aesthetic of a busy kitchen, the gold stands out in a way that reads as intentional rather than decorative. Professional cooks have been reaching for it as both a plating tool and a service piece.
The tumbled matte texture is applied before the gold plating, which gives the surface an intentionally worn, imperfect character consistent with the flea market vintage aesthetic that inspired the Gestura line. The one-tablespoon capacity, tapered tip, flared wings, and bowl-heavy balance are the same as the silver version - this is the same tool in a different finish, not a different tool. At $35 it is the premium option in the 01 line and worth it for cooks who want the gold look without sacrificing the functional design that made the silver popular.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer tracked this spoon down after it sold out everywhere she looked and spent weeks on a restock waiting list. She received it within days of the restock notification and calls it beautiful - noting she loves the matte finish and large size. She recommends checking YouTube to learn about its full range of uses.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only. The gold plating holds up well to regular kitchen use but should not go in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly after washing.

Received my beautiful spoon this morning. This spoon was SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. I’ve been on the restock waiting list for just a short few weeks and was pleased to receive the restock notification. I purchased the spoon immediately received the parcel a couple days later. The spoon is large and I absolutely love the matte finish. A tip: to learn about its multifunctional features, I’d suggest you check out YouTube reviews to learn more.
