ABOUT PRODUCTID 1583
This British pair of salad servers from the 1940s are crafted from silver-plated brass and cut crystal glass. The working ends—a spoon and fork—feature gently rounded, elongated heads and slender, straight stems, transitioning into substantial, faceted crystal handles. The crystal grips are adorned with deeply cut geometric and starburst patterns, giving them a tactile, decorative texture. Each utensil is accented by a spherical silver-plated connector between the stem and handle. The overall aesthetic blends Art Deco with classic British elegance, characterized by symmetry, geometric motifs, and attention to detail. The original maker’s mark is present on the reverse, confirming provenance. The set is in very good vintage condition, showing only minor traces of age such as light surface scratches on the metal, with no visible chips or cracks in the glass. These servers evoke the refined rituals of mid-century dining, when design underscored the art of hospitality. Their cool, mirrored surfaces reflect a postwar longing for modernity, while the sharply etched crystal recalls the precision and rhythm of Art Deco—an aesthetic that endured into the 1940s. Held in the hand, the weight of the glass and the firmness of the metal suggest that every serving gesture is a small ceremony, rooted in tradition and British craftsmanship. These servers could be paired with modernist porcelain or classic plates with fine gilding, highlighting their geometric lines. They would suit a minimalist table setting with a linen cloth, as well as a dark wood backdrop where the crystal handles catch the light. Consider combining them with other silver accents—such as simply cut stemware or clear glass vases—to emphasize both their historic and decorative value.
