    Description

    Vintage Tibetan or Chinese Medicine Spoon, marked “Silver” in Presentation Box.
    I am going to start by saying I’m not sure exactly what this is. I believe it is a Tibetan Medicine Spoon as it resembles some that I have seen in photos, but I cannot say for certain; I imagine it is a replica or recreation.  Embossed with depictions of lotus flowers. It was brought back from Asia by my grandparents when they lived there for several years in the early 1960s.  It is marked "silver," but I am uncertain of the silver purity level.
    This piece is 27 g and 4 3/4" in length.  It is in Used Estate/As Found condition with presentation box, and has not been cleaned, so is heavily tarnished.  Please see photos for additional condition information. Feel free to message me with questions.
    This piece is not presented or guaranteed to be a genuine item or any purity level of silver.  The only things I can say for certain are that it was purchased in Asia and is at least 50 years old.
    And if you buy it and know what is is for certain, please let me know!  I'm always interested about these things.
