    Description

    Two Sets of Vintage Antique Korean Handmade Brass Chopsticks and Spoons.
    Korean brass typically is solid, well-cast, and takes a high luster when polished.
    These pieces are individually cast and polished.  Spoons are seldom identical and chopsticks may vary in length.
    Pieces are polished after casting, but some unfinished areas of original casting are often visible, as seen in the photo of the chopsticks.
    These spoons and chopsticks were purchased by the seller in Korea in the 1970s at a time when many Korean rural residents, tired of polishing their brass, were bringing it in to the city and turning it in for stainless steel.  The brass typically was "old" even then.  As handmade items, they have no manufacturer's identification.
    The spoons in this set are about 9 inches and the chopsticks are about 7 1/2 inches.
