Name That Dining Room Tool !!!
We inherited a similar dining room item. It is a Victorian Pickle Server. It is a beautifully etched octagonally shaped glass container about the size of a pint jar. It sits on a very ornate sterling silver frame with a handle and sterling silver top that has been repaired On the side of the handle are a set of silver tongs, much like sugar cube tongs, but with longer prongs. It looks like a mini old ice bucket. I took it to an antique dealer to make sure what it was and he showed me how the silver lid had corroded from pickle juice. He said it once had a rubber ring around the jar or the top - I've forgotten which. It's useless, which is why it's still around. Just something to polish and dust and talk about. Libby |

As a wedding present we got a very fancy silver tongs with 1.5" X 1.5" pierced and vertical flat sides. The handle part was like a scissors. We had been married for several years before we finally discovered that it was a "petit four" server. I don't remember who got it in the divorce settlement but I haven't seen it in years and don't have a record of who gave it to us. Lynn in Fargo |
