About the Item
Dutch Silver Cheese Thumb Stalls
Dutch silver thumb stalls for holding a piece of cheese. These oval thumb stalls are matted with an engraved motif. The dimensions are 4.2 cm wide x 2.2 cm, and the insertion depth is 1.8 cm.
The total weight is 18 grams.
The thumb stalls are marked with the Dutch silver hallmark "sword," used between 1814 and 1906. Because the maker's hallmark has faded, the exact dating is difficult.
Cheese thumbs were once inserted into the cheese on both sides so that people could slice/cut cheese without touching it with their fingers. Cheeses didn't yet have a plastic outer layer to protect them from bacteria from fingers. Holding the cheese with the silver cheese thumbs prevented contamination.
