Description

Art Deco Bakelite Handle Serving Set with Thomas & Co. Sheffield Knife, 4 Pcs

A four-piece Art Deco serving and table set with butterscotch and marbled tortoise Bakelite handles paired with chrome-plated and stainless implements. The grouping includes a salad serving fork, matching salad serving spoon, a two-tine carving or roast fork with swirled brown Bakelite handle, and a serrated table knife with an amber Bakelite handle. The knife blade is marked "Thomas & Co. Makers, Sheffield — Stainless Steel — Made in England," dating the set to circa 1930s–1940s.
