Commemorative Korean Fine Silver (99.9%) And Chilbo Enamel Dessert Set

This is a high-quality, 12-piece commemorative dessert set consisting of 6 tea spoons and 6 small forks. The set was produced in South Korea and presented as a ceremonial gift to mark a significant maritime milestone.

Materials & Craftsmanship: According to the Certificate of Guarantee, the pieces are made of 99.9% fine silver (often referred to as "pure silver" in a Korean context, though the certificate also uses the term "Sterling"). They feature Chilbo, a traditional Korean enameling technique similar to cloisonné. The handles are decorated with the Taegeuk symbol (a variation of the yin-yang) and geometric fret patterns in vibrant blue, yellow, and red enamel.

Historical Context: The set includes a commemorative plaque stating it was issued "In Commemoration of Naming 'Ephesos' February 24, 2012, Hyundai Samho Shipyard." In the maritime industry, a "Naming Ceremony" is a major event where a newly built ship is officially christened before its maiden voyage.

Weight & Authenticity: The set has a recorded silver weight of 252g. It comes in its original silk-lined presentation box and includes a certificate from a merchant based in the Insa-dong district of Seoul, an area famous for traditional Korean fine arts and antiques.
