    IMG_2798-compressed.jpeg IMG_2790-compressed.jpeg Hi everyone! I went to an evening sale tonight and picked this up for $20. Brought it home and tested it. The chopsticks are testing as silver. They have what I assume is garnet inlayed in the tops. Google is giving me nothing! Has anyone seen this before? I couldn’t find any marks on the glass or silver. When and where do y’all think this was made? Thanks!!

    It's more like a work of art than tableware. Since it's not terribly expensive, I expect the stones are genuinely garnet.

    Yes! I felt like art to me when I first saw it. I told my husband I was going to make ramen noodles for dinner and eat them out of my new bowl. He said absolutely not!
