Thank you for viewing my listing among the many items on Mercari.

This item is a bamboo ladle, and the item itself is in beautiful condition.

Please refer to Photo 1. The box is deteriorated.

The label on the box has 1-person ladle written in marker, so it may have been used.

The handle joint moves about 3mm back and forth, but it is unlikely to come off due to a stopper to prevent it from coming loose.

There is a slight stain on the lower part of the handle (characteristic of natural materials?). (See Photo 6. I believe it is not noticeable.)

There are what appear to be natural stains on the handle due to the bamboo material itself. (See Photo 4)

The paper box is old and has signs of sun fading and scuffing, but otherwise it is in good and beautiful condition.

The above is my impression.

This item has been stored for a long time.
Depending on the viewer, there may be concerns such as stains, dullness, spots, etc. Please purchase with your understanding.
Please check the photos for details of the product.
