Large Silver-Plated Serving Fork with Lily-Shaped Tines – Vintage Salad Fork from Austria, 32 cm, 1950s

The Megaflohmarkt in Vienna, among bundles of knives and spoons. This fork lay across all the others, longer and more curved, with a flower instead of ordinary tines. Why would someone turn a fork into a lily? Perhaps because everyday things deserve a little poetry too.
