Rare Pristine Antique and Vintage Silver Serving Set: 
Reed & Barton(1898) Sharp-Claw Sterling Tongs + Greggio OLRI/AQ(1960) Silver Plated Bonbon Bowl

It is an exquisite antique silver serving set, blending late-Victorian American craftsmanship with 1960s Italian elegance in near-mint condition. Ideal for collectors or display:

1.   Reed & Barton Sterling Silver Tongs: 

Patented August 18, 1898, with striking 3D claw-footed grips (11 cm long, 4 cm wide, 25 g). 

Hallmarked "REED & BARTON PATD AUG 18 98" and pattern "4," showcasing Gothic Revival design. 

Claws are authentically sharp (original patent feature—can prick skin, handle with care!). Solid sterling silver (92.5% purity, weight-consistent).


2. Rino Greggio Argenterie Bonbon Bowl: 

Scalloped silver-plated dish (9.5 x 7.5 x 4 cm, 42 g) marked with "OLRI" in an oval, plus a rare "AQ" or "AΩ" symbol—possibly a quality or series mark from Turin’s Greggio firm (1960s). Ruffled edges perfect for sweets.

Condition: Good vintage with light black tarnish. Claws and hallmarks retain original sharpness and detail.

Dimensions & Weight:

- Tongs: 11 cm (L) x 4 cm (W), 25 g
- Bowl: 9.5 x 7.5 x 4 cm, 42 g
- Total Weight: 67 g

Provenance:  American sterling (ca. 1898–1910) paired with Italian plated ware (1960s–70s). No monograms.

Highlights:
- Ultra-rare 1898-patent tongs with sharp original claws by Reed & Barton.
