A wedge of hard cheese, a crock of softened butter, a jar of preserves at breakfast: the Aladdin Antique Small Spreader is the piece that gets picked up without anyone thinking about it. The blade is 18/10 stainless steel, the handle is high-grade acrylic wrapped in intricate lattice metalwork, and the proportions are deliberately modest so the spreader sits on a cheese board without crowding what is already there. Bugatti has made utensils in Lumezzane for over ninety years, inside the metalworking tradition that northern Italian town is known for, and that practice shows in how this one balances between finger and thumb. Lay several across a board, tuck one into a host gift, or keep a pair beside the butter dish for mornings when toast is the whole plan and afternoons when the cheese keeps everyone at the table.
