  • Details
    You can tell that I love these sweet pieces. I especially love the details on the handles of this sweet piece.

    Think Downton Abbey... European elegance. Sweet pastry tongs to be used for serving sandwiches, cookies, pastries.... Lovely pastry tongs for a bridal luncheon or baby shower, and then a delightful keepsake for the hostess. I love pieces like this!. So rare, so delightful. German elegance.

    The tongs:
    Marked 800, the European standard for silver; length 6 1/4 inches
    Weight: 46 grams, a bit lighter than others I have, so a bargain price

    The paddles:
    1 13/4 inches wide x 1 3/4 inches long from tip to handle
    The scissors:
    6 1/4 inches long x 2 1/4 inches at the finger holes

    A word of caution...many sellers advertise these pieces as 800 silver when they are silver plate. Be sure that you can see the mark!

    Since it's solid 800 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 monogram.

    Commensurate with age, the condition is very good to excellent.

    Wonderful customer service! The tongs were for a birthday afternoon tea and the shop staff made sure they arrived well before the event! I am delighted with the tongs themselves.
