Presented is a wonderful set of 11 antique Stieff sterling silver strawberry forks. Ten of these forks are made in the classic Stieff Rose pattern, which began production in 1892. As the name suggests, this is a lovely floral pattern for which Kirk Stieff is especially well known, with fine repousse work decoration in the form of roses. The eleventh fork is made in a very similar repousse floral pattern by Stieff, Chrysanthemum. The design is so similar it is very hard to notice the difference, and it has the same monogram as the rest. The chasing is very crisp and detailed on all the forks. The backs of the forks have a monogram of FGT in flowing script. These forks have two long sharp tines, unlike the typical three for a strawberry fork, but will certainly spear a berry no less well, or any other small treat for which you wish to use them, for that matter.
This set is in excellent condition. The details of the pattern are nice and crisp. There are no splits, no dents, no breaks, no monogram removals, and no repairs. Each fork is stamped with the Stieff maker's mark as well as sterling.
Each fork measures about 4 3/4 inches long.
The total weight for the set is 148 grams or 5.2 regular ounces.
