A small silver server with a rosewood handle, called an hors d'oeuvre server in Spratling's mid-1950s wholesale catalogue, this is a modest serving piece in the workshop's enduring silver-and-rosewood idiom.
The rosewood handle set against the silver blade is the warm-material-against-metal pairing Morrill identifies across Spratling's table designs (Morrill, p. 224). The catalogue's own naming, hors d'oeuvre server, fixes its intended use within his line of serving pieces.
A small functional object, it belongs to the serving pieces the workshop produced in quantity through the 1950s.
