This is a ceramic spoon (a renge?). The photo looks grayish due to the lighting, but the spoon is white. I don't remember using it, but it's been in the cutlery box in the cupboard, so I'm listing it as "like new." Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to minor scratches that may have occurred during storage. It's the size of a teaspoon and would be good for chawanmushi (savory egg custard).
