Length of the spoon: 16.7cm, widest part: 3.5cm
Length of the chopsticks: 24.2cm, widest part: 0.5cm, length of the chain: 7.5cm

The tableware consists of plates, one-eared cup, fork, spoon, and chopsticks, most of which are carved with medallion pattern, eight treasure pattern, small flower pattern, etc, and each inscribed with six Chinese characters - "Beijing", "zhongyuan" (Central Plains), "zuchi" (pure gold). The foot of one-eared cup is right fit for the concave part of the smaller plate, thus forming a smaller set. Made of pure gold, the tableware set gives off sparkling luster. It is finely chiselled, clear in ornament, and delicate in craftwork.
