About the Item

A fine sterling silver & ebony wood server. By Allan Adler. In the Town & Country pattern. This flat serving spoon or server has a raised lip to the right hand side and a flat edge to the left with a riveted, tapered ebony handle. (We're not actually sure what this unusual server is. Perhaps it corresponds to the 'small server' in Adler's catalog or perhaps the 'pancake server...?). In any case, simpl a wonderful serving piece from one of California's great Modernist silversmiths! Date: 20th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: There is some firescale to the reverse of the server (as well as a small spot to the top). Otherwise, there is some light edge wear, some fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age.
