Description from the seller

The photo below shows an antique set of cutlery with handles made of natural mother-of-pearl. The set includes:
The fish knife (on the left) has a characteristic scapular shape with a rounded and often engraved blade designed to separate skin and bones without cutting.
The fork for fish (or seafood) (in the center) has three prongs, sometimes with special slots for the convenience of separating the pulp.
Dessert or snack knife (on the right) — with a wave-shaped blade, which can also be used for fruit or butter. Handles: Made of solid pieces of mother-of-pearl with a characteristic iridescent sheen.
Metal part: Usually it is silver-plated brass (UNS), Decorative couplings (ferules) with a thin relief ornament are visible between the blade and the handle.
Engraving: The blade of the left knife is hand—engraved with floral or geometric motifs, which is typical for products of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Victorian or Edwardian era).
