Description: Kozuka by Gorham Sterling Mixed Metal Dessert Fork w Serpent Dragon 19th C.. Amazing and hard to find ! Gorham Sterling mark of last quarter of 19th Century...Bronze with Sterling Gorham fork tines.. The fruit fork is 7 1/2" ... Watch for more to come !!!! Small utility knives, known as kozuka (小柄), had long been highly valued craft objects in Japan where they were traditionally cast from fine metals, such as bronze. After Japan opened to international trade, craftsmen produced kozuka for Westerners who sometimes repurposed the handles to make dining knives. Eventually Japanese manufacturers began selling the handles alone, crafting them from various metals with die stamped decoration gilded in select areas. The Gorham Manufacturing Company added their own sterling silver blade designs, decorated with butterflies, fans, and geometric patterns applied to Western-style utensils, such as dessert forks and salad servers. The resulting knives resemble Japanese swords with decorated handles. Coupon can not be used with BEST OFFER feature. Please mention in offers if you are a REPEAT BUYER!
