Noritake Yōhaku Silver (EPNS Nickel Silver Silver Plate Silver Plated) This is a set of 5 Premier Contour horizontal spout ladles. I believe they are spoons for pouring dressing, sauces, or curry. The elegant curved contours are a beautiful Contour style design. The classic, gentle form adds an accent and elegantly colors the table. Size: Length: Approximately 15cm Weight: Approximately 61g The same series is currently sold in stainless steel, but the Yōhaku specification is no longer sold, so this is a great opportunity for those looking for it. This type of horizontal spout ladle is no longer sold, so I think it's discontinued. It has a very beautiful form. My grandmother collected this series about 40 years ago. It was used infrequently and has been stored for a long time. It has been cleaned regularly, so there is no discoloration or dirt, and it is in beautiful condition, but there are fine scratches due to polishing and stacking. Discoloration will occur over time, but the shine will return with care. Personally, I think that Yōhaku cutlery will gain more flavor and goodness with use and care. Care instructions: After use, wash by hand as soon as possible with lukewarm water mixed with a mild detergent, and wipe off the water with a dry cloth to remove any moisture. Please be careful as the use of bleaching agents or cleansers may cause peeling or scratches. If you are not going to use it for a long time, it is recommended to store it without exposing it to air. Exposure to air for a long time may cause discoloration. If it has become discolored: Put it in boiling water with a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part baking soda and aluminum foil to restore its shine. Shipped free of charge via Yu-Yu Mercari.
