• Details
  Christoph Widmann’s craftsmanship in the early part of the 20th century stands out among his contemporaries. His company began in 1918, and his designs are claimed to be the first of the Hildesheimer rose patterns. I love the detail that he puts in his pieces. He's one of my favorite silversmiths.
  
  It's rare to find tongs that are so sturdy with this age. Heavy, strongly hinged, lovely! I use pieces like this one for serving just about everything...breads, pastries, meats, veggies...whatever. And when I use pieces like this, it's always to the delight of my guests who have usually never seen anything like them.
  
  These sweet servers make great wedding gifts or special pieces for any silver lover. I'm also fond of giving pieces like these to friends who are moving as a new home gift...a lovely servers like this one on cheese boards or hors d'oeuvre platters as welcome-home gifts or hostess gifts.
  
  The server: 6” x 1 1/2”
  Material: 800 silver (the European standard for sterling)
  Markings: 800 CW
  Weight: 33 grams
  Pattern: Hildesheimer Rose
  
  This server is 800 silver, not silver plate. A word of caution...some sellers advertise silver when they are selling silver plate. Be sure that you can see the mark.
  
  Since it's solid 800 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 excellent.
