This is for 2 really lovely rice pattern spoons with cobalt blue banded decorations. When they make rice patterns they put rice in lovely designs in the the unbaked porcelain, then in the firing process the rice burns away leaving the holes. They then fill the holes with translucent glazes so the light will shine through in lovely patterns. These measure 5.5 inches long and are the size for wonton soup, or soup size. They are both in excellent condition, no chips, no cracks and no crazing...
