Saint Cloud Damaged Fork #1

This is a rare fork with the handle made by St-Cloud in the first half of the 18th century. Forks are much harder to find than even knives and those are not easy to find at all either! The handle is made of a creamy colored softpaste with a nice underglaze blue decoration typical for them. The metal part is steel and the collar is made of silver. The metal prong part was probably replaced around the late 19th century (though I am not 100% sure) which was a common practise since the original iron pieces got very rusty and fell apart. The piece is in good condition with two stable hairlines to the handle going from the ferrule into the handle as shown and some oxidation to the metal parts which is normal and a tiny bit of wear to the glaze also common since it is softpaste. Unmarked which is always the case. The fork is 8 inches long of which the visible part of the handle is about 3 inches. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $349
