I believe this is a Japanese ash spoon from the Edo period. It might be a medicine spoon. It's unlikely to be used in an ordinary household, but it has a certain appeal as an object. It's old, so it has age-related scratches and stains. Length: Approximately 18cm Sizes are approximate. The actual item may differ slightly in color from the images.
