This set of English Sheffield silverplate tongs I picked up at the flea market here in New York. I love the shell pattern on the handle and the graceful curving of the tongs. What an elegant way to serve Belgian waffles or French toast at a champagne brunch. And for dinner, they're the perfect utensil for miniature Yorkshire puddings. A serving piece like this would make any meal feel special.


























That looks like "Kings" pattern. Variations were made by more than one maker...

Glorious! How much would something like this set you back in NY?
