Condition

Overall in very good condition showing gentle use. This service was purchased by the present owner directly from the firm as set of 13. The bamboo handles with light rubbing and gentle use. With some very minor differentiation in color to the bamboo across the service, which is inherent in the production, and not a result of use. The service was sensitively maintained, and the very good condition reflects that care.
