Shown is an antique Chinese eating or utility set with a scabbard and holder containing a pair of chopsticks and a knife. It contains four pieces (a knife, pair of chopsticks and holder). The holder is made of silver and contains a natural white material detailed with a black line landscape etching of mountains, trees, and rocks with a few red highlights. The part the chopsticks slide into is silver. The knife handle is made of stone, possibly jade, and is carved into a dragon’s head measuring about 2 5/8 long. The knife length is 8 3/4. It has a silk tassle attached to a loop. Overall length of eating set is 10. Condition: The knife blade has some pitting and a few small rust marks that I did not attempt to clean. There is some silver polish residue in one of the crevices but this does not harm the piece and could be removed with a fine tool. Overall excellent – without chips, cracks, breaks or other problems.
