  Sweetly crafted, these hors d'oeuvres utensils hearken back to a stately time when set tables were showpieces. With the holidays coming near, I love to pull out pieces like these to add to a gift basket, to welcome someone into a new home, or to serve my own guests... Marked with the 800 mark and styled in the a Hildesheimer pattern, these are classic antique serving pieces.

  If you’re shopping around, watch out for Hildesheimer pieces made of silver plate. The pieces in this listing are 800 or 835 silver, not silver plate.
  
  The story of the Hildesheim Rose, after which these pieces are patterned, delights me. The oldest known rose alive today, it has withstood wars and time. Rising 69 feet at the Hildesheim Cathedral, it's an inspirational point for the German nation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand-year_Rose
  
  I have guessed at the age of these pieces, but they are similar to others I own from this period. Likely all herald from Germany. I have listed these together to save you on shipping. If you want just a couple of these, send me a note so that I can handle the shipping for you.
  
  A word of caution...many sellers advertise these pieces as 800 silver or 835 silver when they are silver plate. Be sure that you can see the mark.
  
  Since it's solid 800 or 835 silver, the standard for German silver, you don't have to worry about the finish wearing off with use. A simple polish removes any accumulating tarnish. (I prefer Hagerty Silversmith's wash with a tarnish preventative. Avoid using silver dips; they'll remove the lovely patina that gathers in the crevices to enhance the detail of these pieces.)
  
  No monograms.
  
  Commensurate with age, the condition of each of these pieces is very good to excellent.
