"This attractive 18-piece spoon set is by Interpur Japan in their iconic INR2 pattern, commonly known as 'Canoe Muffin' or 'Scroll'. A quintessential example of 1960s to 1970s design, this pattern features a bold, elegant contrast perfect for a vintage, Mid-Century, or Scandinavian modern table setting.

Design: Each stainless steel spoon bowl leads into a beautifully detailed scrolled pattern on the neck, transitioning to a sleek, matte black composite (or faux wood) handle. The handles are often described as having a paddle or 'canoe muffin' shape, giving the pattern its whimsical name.

Manufacturer/Era: Made by Interpur, Japan, a popular importer of quality stainless steel flatware, likely produced in the 1960s or 1970s.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The stainless steel is highly reflective with minor signs of use typical of age. The black handles are generally clean and firmly attached.

Authenticity: Stamped on the back of the bowl: 'INTERPUR STAINLESS STEEL JAPAN' (as shown in image).
