# Loch Ness Ladles This Cute Nessie Spoon was Made in the Image of the Fabled Scottish Monster By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-01-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loch-ness-ladle References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Nessie_Ladle--Kitchen--Home.html) & [animicausa](http://www.animicausa.com/shop/Nessie-Ladle/tpflypage.tpl.html) Perhaps only those who believe in Nessie will see her resemblance in the form of this Loch Ness ladle. Inspired by the legendary creature that inhabits a deep lake in northern Scotland, this [serving spoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lollo) dishes out some imagination in the kitchen. This little [Loch Ness Monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loch-lomond-1) has a bowl for a body, offering a generous capacity for serving up portions of soup and stew. The long neck-like handle of the animalistic implement swoops elegantly upwards to finish in a rounded head, complete with a pair of holes that can be interpreted as eyes. Contributing atypical practicality to this Loch Ness ladle is a set of four stubby legs. They keep it propped up, creating a [novelty utensil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ototo-and-everyplate) that's unexpectedly clever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Novelty Utensils:** Opportunity to tap into consumers' desire for fun and unique kitchen gadgets. - **Creature-inspired Products:** Potential for creating products that appeal to consumers' fascination with mythical creatures. - **Creative Kitchenware:** Potential for developing imaginative and artistic kitchen tools that enhance the cooking and serving experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for kitchenware manufacturers to expand their product lines with innovative and creative utensils. - **Home Decor:** Potential for home decor companies to incorporate whimsical and playful design elements in their kitchen-themed product offerings. - **Novelty Gifts:** Opportunity for gift companies to offer unique and humorous kitchen gadgets that make excellent gifts for all occasions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Functional Pasta Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pasta-spoon.md) - [Edge-Conforming Kitchen Ladles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolution-edge-ladle.md) - [Squid-Shaped Noodle Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikr-fork.md) - [Squid-Shaped Noodle Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-fork.md) - [Quirky Fungi Kitchenwares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-mushroom-funnel.md) - [Speculative Cutlery Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-spoon.md) - [Extended Reach Fondue Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fonduuuuuuefork.md) - [Fantastical Creature-Inspired Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irnbru-xtra-legend-editions.md) - [French Fry Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spoon-friez.md)
