Splendid stampwork adorns the working portion of these serving pieces as well as each handle. Stamping is deep and crisp and in every way proportional to the size of these elegant silver tools. A simple plain bezel encircles each of the oval turquoise cabochons.
Art Deco western sensibilities at their best!
