[Tea utensils/Tea ceremony tools] Ladle stand, blue glaze, openwork design on all four sides, made by Kaga Zuizan

● A spoon stand is a display stand that is placed on a long board or stand.
It serves as a place to hold a ladle upright (container) and also as a place to hold the fire tongs.
It seems that the ladle is placed towards you and the tongs are placed on the other side, held between the handle of the ladle.
When there is a ladle stand, the ladle should not be pulled into the lid rest, but should always be inserted straight into the stand.
