PRICE FOR SET

Elegant and endearing. These spoons are designed for sipping tall mixed drinks or iced tea. The spoon for stirring and scooping, the handle hollow, to use as a straw. Long drinks never looked so elegant. Each has a different Japanese charm attached.

Solid sterling silver.

Made by Okubo Brothers who produced fine silver objects and Japanese gifts for high-end tourists. They sold from their shop in the Imperial Hotel Arcade, Tokyo. The business is still running today, though managed by a different family.

Two spoons are missing from the set but the box is too good to put aside - the label is delightful, and the inside of the lid is speckled with real silver leaf.
