I can't say too much about it really. I handled it when i photographed it, but it is not mine (a friend needed pics to try to sell it). I believe the chopsticks are ivory and the fittings are silver, but i've done no tests on it. It is a very nicely done solid piece and i got the impression that it was probably mid 20th century though i suppose early 20thC wouldn't be out of the question. I believe my friend thought it was Mandarin.
