Gift wrapping and packaging

My items are vintage and often fragile, so they are not packaged as gifts. Each order is carefully and securely packed to ensure safe delivery.

Handle vintage items with care. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Avoid dishwashers, harsh chemicals, or soaking in water to preserve their condition.

Measurements are always included in the item description (both in centimeters and inches whenever possible). Please read them carefully before purchasing.

Wholesale availability

No, I do not offer wholesale. All items in my shop are unique vintage pieces, usually available as a single item only.

Vintage Hildesheimer Rose German Solid Silver Forks, Cake, Pastry and Pickle Forks, German Silverware.

Please note that items are sold separately. Use the drop-down menu to select the specific fork you wish to purchase.

This is vintage German silverware made in the mid-20th century. These pieces feature the "Hildesheimer Rose" pattern, a classic of German silversmithing inspired by the legendary thousand-year-old rose bush that grows at the Hildesheim Cathedral. Each piece is crafted from solid silver and bears hallmarks.

Marked "Antiko 800".
Measures 14 cm and weighs 16 g.

2. Christoph Bach Cake Fork

Condition
These items are in excellent vintage condition. They feature a lovely natural patina that provides contrast and depth to the rose patterns. There is minor surface wear consistent with age and gentle use, but no major damage, bends, or repairs. These solid silver pieces can be polished to a high shine if a brighter look is preferred.
Please look at all the pictures carefully, as they are an important part of the description. The listing shows actual images of the items, and you will receive the piece you choose. Any visible defects not mentioned but visible in the pictures will be considered as described!
