Vintage Thai bronze and rosewood 48 piece canteen for 12 in wooden box

Lovely cutlery canteen in wooden box lined with red felt

Bronze ware is a unique tableware, handmade by skilled craftsmen in Thailand, perhaps better known as Siam.  Cast individually from glowing red molten bronze, each piece is ground to the proper shape and polished to a mirror finish by these patient craftsmen. 

Rosewood is a brownish red hardwood, native to the steaming tropical jungles of Southeast Asia. It's water-resistance and hardness, ensures its durability and longevity in appliances and furniture.

There are 12 knives (21,2 cm long) / 12 forks (20,8 cm long) / 12 dessert spoons (20 cm long) and 12 teaspoons (14 cm long)

Size of wooden box :  36 cm x 29 cm x 8,5 cm (the wood could be oak or chestnut,I am not sure)  The whole unit is very heavy.

All 48 pieces are in an excellent used condition.  It might have been used a few times at most.

Recipe to safely clean these utensils :  1 x cup of white vinegar, add 1 x teaspoon salt, add a little bit of flour to make a paste, apply a layer of this paste to cutlery and keep aside for 15 min to an hour. (DON'T dishwash)

Dear Buyer, additional postage to be added is either R 175 via SAPO insured mail or You are welcome to send a courier to fetch the parcel.  Thank you

Ps.  Due to it being very heavy, I cannot estimate a fee for Post net counter to counter, but I am willing to ship via them on your request if you will be kind enough to wait a while for me to find out the exact cost?
