Vintage “Little Spoon” 12-Piece Set, Japan c.1961–1967, Boxed

A charming, period-perfect set that captures the optimism of 1960s entertaining culture—cocktail-hour graphics, tropical fruit imagery, and a bright presentation box designed for gift counters and hostess displays. Each spoon features a polished stainless bowl and a crisp white molded handle with gold-tone floral decoration, giving the set a celebratory, boutique look without any signs of use. The original box elevates this from “vintage flatware” to a collectible object: complete, coherent, and ready for curated display.
