HOLD
Very heavy at just over 2.0 T. oz., this 7 3/4" long master butter knife is stamped "Crosy, Morse & Foss," for the 19th century Boston retailer, and "925 in an oval" for sterling silver.
Having a rounded "Antique" handle with a "Tipt" backside, the appeal of the piece lies in its quiet elegance and overall substance.
There is a handsome leaf script monogram engraved on the handle front.
The plain blade has a scalloped upper edge, a beveled lower edge, and an upswept, pointed, tip.
An example of how understatement can be an effective design statement, this piece is quietly commanding.
It is in flawless condition, showing no wear or damage, and has a fine finish.
