unique, maybe not one of a kind...but have never seen one like it before. stands 11 inches tall from bottom to top of the spoons. a unique item to display. Brass spoons and copper boxes with some kind of metal lining. trays are numbered for convenience of reassembly after dining or polishing. (notice sine dots on the corners....three is for the top/two dots for the next one down, one dot for next to the bottom and the bottom tray has no dots. Weighs just over 6 pounds. Do not know country of origin...some say China.
