Lot 155: A Trio of Cased Silver Plated Flatware and Serving Sets
A collection of three cased sets of flatware and serving pieces. The first set is a twelve-piece fish service for six, comprising six knives and six forks. The pieces feature cream-coloured composite handles with decorative metal ferrules and metal blades and tines. The knife blades bear marks which are not clearly legible. The second set consists of five butter knives featuring scrolled handles in a pistol-grip style. The metal is silver-coloured, likely silver-plated or stainless steel. No maker’s marks are visible. The third set is a three-piece serving set comprising a butter knife, a sugar shovel, and a jam or cream spoon. The handles are decorated in a shell-and-scroll pattern in the style of the Kings pattern. The pieces appear to be silver-plated. No clearly legible marks are present.
Condition report:
