This is a simple blue and white porcelain hand made spoon from 19th century China. It measures roughly 9.5 cm and is in good condition but may have minor chips. Makes a great conversation piece or decorative accent. I have several available. This one has a hand applied, post glaze character on the underside that likely was inscribed by the original owner.
