Wholesale Silver-plated olive spoon, pierced scallop-shell bowl, ivory handle, Italy

Tableware once had dedicated accessories designed to combine elegance and practicality. This Italian serving spoon is a fine example. Its scallop-shell–shaped bowl, delicately pierced with three holes, allows you to pick up olives, pickles, or small vegetables while letting the brine drain away before serving. A simple gesture, made elegant. The ivory-colored Bakelite handle, paired with an 18/3 stainless silver-plated metal ferrule engraved with the Italian maker's mark, gives it a refined look typical of tableware from the 1950s–1970s. The shell-shaped bowl, with its raised radiating ribs, is both functional and decorative. Length approximately 25 cm. Shiny metal, handle intact with a beautiful age patina. Laid on a carefully arranged aperitif tray, placed beside a bowl of black olives and a glass of rosé, it recalls a time when entertaining was an art prepared down to the smallest detail.
