Vintage Silverplate Escargot Picks - Set of 12

Inching their way to Paris, this Vintage Set of Silverplate Escargot Picks celebrates the art and allure of one of the world's most storied delicacies: les escargots. Long before they graced the tables of fine Parisian bistros, snails were enjoyed by the Romans, who praised their delicate flavor and believed them to be a food fit for emperors. Over centuries, the French embraced the dish wholeheartedly, transforming it into a symbol of refined indulgence, served sizzling with butter, garlic, and parsley in picturesque cafés.

This whimsical set nestled within its original presentation box playfully embraces this history with a dash of elegance. Marked 'Creations H.P.' and 'Made in France', the custom case is lined in royal blue velveteen and covered in a similarly colored textured finish, reminiscent of snakeskin. Sure to make a lively conversation piece for escargot service at table or when making a special appearance for olives and other tidbits during cocktail hour, each of the set's 12 darling two-prong forks is topped with a petite snail rendered in precise detail. With its jolly presence and vintage charm, this sweet set promises to become a memorable addition to your entertaining collection.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. Forks measure 3.5"L. Case measures 5.75" x 5.75".
