Have you ever notice that there is a hole in the spoon? Do you think it is to save the material or? It is a little bit difficult to wash it right?
You may think it just like the hole in the big soup spoon which is easy for hanging. But it may be too small to be hanged. With a curious about this hole, just follow me below.
Actually, it is a very simple reason which starts with production, it is convenient to be hanged for firing in the kiln and save space. During the process of manufacturing, the ceramic spoon should be fired. It can not stand on it and wast space, it will cut the output which is not economic for the manufacturer.
Improving this problem, the worker finds this smart way which is to make a hole in the spoon to hang it in the kiln, it does not only save the space but also helps to fire the spoon evenly. Is not it convenient? Furthermore, it avoids to scratch it when hanged. All in all, the hole in the spoon is only for easy molding.
By the way, why there is no hole in the glass spoon? It is because of the different manufacturing techniques. The spoon was made by machine, and it will polish one by one in the machine. And the last process it that the spoons will be put together in an It is Annealing in the annealing furnace. It is not like the ceramic spoon to be put in the kiln together to fire, if it can not fire evenly, it will affect the output.
