These are really quite incredible little pieces! There are 5 forks and 5 knives, they are unmarked silver plated, and each handle is a semi-precious stone including carved amber (with inclusions), carved amethyst quartz, other quartz, carved rock crystal, agates etc. Forks range in size from 10cm to 10.5cm, knives 11.8-12cm. We assume they were intended for use as date or olive utensils. Probably dating c. 1920, origin middle eastern at a guess.

An interesting piece - the bowl is not far off an average tablespoon in length but shallower and is nicely engraved with a flower. The bowl is silver soldered to the long twisted handle. There are absolutely no markings - it may be a student silversmiths piece or similar.

An interesting set comprising of 2 condiment bottles with stoppers, 2 shakers for salt & pepper, a mustard pot with a nice silver plated spoon and unusually a pickle jar. It appears to be a lacquered chrome or similar plating (pewter in colour).

An early c.20th boxed set of 12 heavy chrome plated knife rests, probably French origin c. 1930 but unmarked.
