Yes, we do have Google where I live, but i can't find these. I'm trying to work out what the little two-pronged fork and tiny spatula are for. Any ideas? I've put them next to other cutlery so you can get the sense of how small they are.

What are these old serving implements please?

The carving/serveware above (with black handles) is exactly what my grandparents had too. It reminds me of childhood Christmases back home in Denmark, very happy memories.

Don’t put them in the dishwasher! Hand wash only. They’re beautiful, I wish I had a set :)

I will! I’m about to buy a mid-century house so these would be very fitting for a housewarming party with pickles (though perhaps not rollmops 😁)

@dubyalass theres lots and lots of midcentury mod on eBay. I’ve bought all mine from there.

I bought one of those tiny spatulas from ebay - I thought it was normal size Xmas Grin
I use it for flipping small fried items, not sure what it's really for though
I'm rather fond of it...

I can’t wait till I’m in, I think I will go a bit mad buying period furniture and knick-knacks and eBay will be my first port of call!

I did someting similar @dubyalass when I last moved. I found a lot of great furniture in charity shops in towns that have older populations and stuff on etsy. I really love the midcentury stuff.

I'm currently getting eBay listings alerts for Ladderax shelving units but they're mostly miles away. Also looking at local auction houses in case anything turns up there.
