Antique 18thC Saint Cloud Porcelain Fork Porzellan Gabel French France St

  
Antique 18thC Saint Cloud Porcelain Fork Porzellan Gabel French France St. This product data sheet is originally written in English. A rare early fork where the handle is made of Saint Cloud porcelain in the first half of the 18th century around 1725. The handle is made of a creamy colored soft paste with a nice under glaze blue decoration typical for them. The end of the handle is painted with a stylized flower head.

The fork has two tines on a baluster stem - a very early design as well. The metal parts are made of steel and the ferrule and decorative end cap made of silver.

The metal parts are original to the piece which is not often the case. The set is in great condition with some minor oxidation to the metal parts which is normal but it is better looking than most. A tiny bit of wear to the glaze and some minor firing faults common to these early pieces especially since they are softpaste.

Two fine hard to spot hairlines going from the ferrule end inwards as shown. A fairly common issue on these and it is still a superb example and displays perfectly!

Unmarked which is always the case. The fork is 8.5 inches long of which the visible part of the handle is about 3.375 inches. If you like my goodies have a look at my other auctions for a lot more top maker pieces like Bow, Chantilly and so on. Photos are part of the description.
