Presented is a fabulous quality sterling silver serving fork by Reed & Barton. This piece is done in the elegant Intaglio pattern, which began production in 1905. This is a beautiful pattern featuring intaglio floral designs, very detailed and realistically done. The end of the handle of the fork has a monogram of 'R' in Gothic script. The actual business end of the fork has a rich gold wash and lovely pierced designs. This is an impressive serving piece, easily the largest piece we've seen in this pattern in 35 years.

This piece is in excellent overall condition. The details of the pattern are quite crisp. There are no splits, no dents, no monogram removals, and no repairs.

This piece is about 10 1/4 inches long.
