A salad-server fork with a rosewood handle capped by a silver end - the warm wood set against silver in the material contrast Morrill ties to Spratling's affinity for Puiforcat (p. 224), the capped terminal a small workshop refinement. It is documented through the catalogues, wholesaling at $24.80 in 1958-59 and $30.00 by 1967.
The design has since been reissued, continuing in production after the original workshop years. Such reissues attest to the enduring demand for Spratling table silver.
The fork is recorded in Mexican Interiors.
