This item was purchased in Italy over 20 years ago after falling in love with it at first sight. The design is not often seen in Japan, and unlike many shell-style designs, this one has a lovely design reminiscent of lapis lazuli. I remember using the two large spoons once. They didn't match the atmosphere of my tableware, so I haven't used them and have kept them stored away. I am selling these as I primarily use a Laguiole bee-marked set and have no use for these. The box has deteriorated. I made a mistake opening one and tore the bag. Thank you for your understanding. Please note that this is a long-term storage item and not new, so please refrain from returns and claims.
