Antique Butter Knife - Germany 1880

优雅的古董餐具用刀或黄油刀，柄部为丰富装饰的镀金银制柄，搭配细长灵活的钢质刀刃。
柄为实心、结实的结构——不同于常见的薄而空心类型——饰以深厚的洛可可复兴风格纹饰，手工细致地雕刻花卉与卷草纹样。
原饰金痕仍在镂凿的阴影处留存，与自然的温润包浆形成温暖对比。

the slender, resilient blade with delicate etched floral motifs suggests use as a fine serving or butter knife, intended for soft foods such as pâtés, creams, or cheeses.
