Alessi Blip PG02 - Spoon Rest in 18/10 Stainless Steel Mirror Polished

This is a work of art, as to be expected with Alessi and why we purchase Alessi. It's gorgeous. Luckily for me, I got it for a steal on a warehouse deal because someone missed the point. (If you want a $6 behemoth, monster holder that can catch every spill, get a KitchenPro "boat" at CostCo. This is not that. This is for Alessi loyalist nerds who desire a beautiful work of art and design that happens to double as a spoon holder.) Yes, it is smaller and somewhat daintier than the average spoon holder, but it still lovingly, perfectly cradles all my cooking utensils while making me appear much classier than I am. I keep it on the divider in the center of my stove, a little pop of elegant, whimsical design on the kitchen island where it can appreciated by the masses. Initially after reading reviews, I tried using it as a spoon holder for my coffee. But that covered it with drips, sullying its sparkling luster and buried it next to a machine in the shadows, like just another spoon holder. But this is Alessi and like all art, it is meant to be seen and enjoyed. Art is unexpected, not homogenous or predictable, and it shouldn't be like the rest--or it wouldn't be Alessi! The fact that it's also practical is Alessi's trademark bonus icing on the design-nerd cake. (I'd say it's too small to give as a gift alone, but would be lovely in a coffee/tea basket, or with the Alessi heart teaspoons.) If you love Alessi, you'll delight in it and adore it and find a purpose for it. Even if that's just staring admiringly at it on your counter, for beauty's sake.

It’s a unique in design spoon rest. I already have and love it! I sent it as a gift to my niece and she loved it so much that she uses it as an ornament in her living room when she is not cooking!!! On top of its beauty it’s also very practical!

Stunning and comfortable

Looks great. A little small for wooden spoons but it works just fine. I suppose you don't want a larger size if you are interested in this design.... We handwash it to preserve the finish.

It's a little bit lighter weight than I expected but beautifully made. It holds up to five spoons at once (depending on the size) and goes in the dishwasher. I use it every day.

Elegant design, less footprint than most spoon rests, easy to clean, and with 3 points of contact, works on uneven surfaces.

I own two of these. I keep one by the coffee area next to the french press and the Keurig. For coffee spoons, the size is more than adequate and the styling is more in line with the area than the standard (and slightly obscene looking) double spoon rest. I did purchase a second Blip for the cook top area. Other reviewers have commented on size. I'll say fair enough due to the product measuring smaller than the listed dimensions. Product specs detail 6" x 3.5 " x 1.25", however, by my measurements it's more like 5" x 3". My largest cooking spoons are a bit large for the Blip, (for those I use 2 Evriholder Silicone Pot Clips Ladle Or Spoon Holder Rest For Stove Cooking ). But it works just fine for me at least 90% of time. - Hand wash only. I can achieve the same thing with a small $2 ceramic saucer, but that's obviously not what I wanted in my kitchen.

Was very excited to gift this for the holidays; I’ve heard it’s beautiful. Unfortunately, I waited 3+ weeks for it and when it was listed as “delivered”, it never actually arrived. There was no way to reach out to the delivery service, Australia Global Post, or get any information on the delivery. Will just re-order outside of Amazon.
