This salad fork carries the Amarres Disco pattern that Spratling called "Heavy Discs," its design built around a single applied disc on the handle. The bold circle of silver is the same unit that recurs across his jewelry and holloware, here defining a flatware pattern substantial enough to earn its name.
Reducing the design to one strong applied disc is characteristic of how Spratling built a pattern from a single repeating form. The design has been reissued, part of the continuity of his flatware repertoire, which the Sucesores carried forward by hand-wrought techniques little changed over decades (Morrill, p. 251).
As a Heavy Discs salad fork it belongs to the named patterns of Spratling's table line, where a single clean motif distinguished each design.
