The following pictures show the good made-in-Denmark Arne Jacobsen bouillon spoon, right hand, produced by Georg Jensen.




Pay attention to the "Georg Jensen Stainless Denmark" marking and the spoon's smooth perfect round form, even thickness, and refined even matte lustre.

This bouillon spoon is recently marketed as a breakfast spoon and sold in a two-piece gift set in Georg Jensen Living beige box for 319 NOK/49 USD in Norway.

This new production is made outside Denmark--in an unspecified country in the East--and has the look, feel, and quality of a very cheap spoon, a contempt that Georg Jensen the founder would be very ashamed of. The matte finish of the spoon is barely visible. The round shape is bulging, and the edge is not clear crisp straight.

So if you do not want to spend 49 USD for a rip-off version of a cheapo, ask the store to give you the one with "Georg Jensen Stainless Denmark" marking at the back.
