Description
These salad servers come as a pair: a spoon with a broad, rounded bowl, and a partner server whose head is split by a narrow slit that ends in a small round hole. A split head like this is the fork of the pair, holding leaves against the spoon as you lift. Both pieces are made of 100% iron with an electroplated finish in a brass colour, and the surface is left uneven and textured. The handles are built up from a stack of chunky, faceted beads that are as good to look at as they are to hold. Each server is 26.5cm long and 6cm wide, a full serving length, and together they weigh 0.4KG.
They are made for the table. Bring them out with a big bowl of dressed leaves at a weekend lunch, or use them to lift roasted vegetables, grain salads and slaws onto each plate at dinner with friends. The 26.5cm length suits the large, deep bowls a family salad needs. They work as well on the kitchen worktop when you are tossing a salad before it goes out, and on a sideboard laid out for a buffet. Because they look this handsome, they suit anyone who likes serving pieces left out on the table rather than hidden away, and they make a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift.
Iron is a strong, dense metal, which is where the weight in the hand comes from, and the electroplated finish gives the pair its brass colour and its slightly worn, textured look. They do not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash them by hand after use. Between courses, rest them across the rim of the bowl or lay them side by side on a linen napkin next to it; the brass tone looks at home beside glazed stoneware, wooden boards and a plain table.

Frequently Asked
What are these salad servers made of?
Both servers are made of 100% iron with an electroplated finish, which gives them their brass colour and textured surface. They are iron underneath, not solid brass.
Can the salad servers go in the dishwasher?
No, they do not go in the dishwasher, so wash them by hand after use. They are not for the microwave or the oven either.
How long are the servers?
Each server is 26.5cm long and 6cm wide, a full serving length that reaches comfortably into a large, deep salad bowl.
What is included?
You receive two pieces: a serving spoon with a rounded bowl and a second server with a narrow slit and a small round hole. The styling props shown are not included.
Why does one server have a slit in it?
The split head works as the fork of the pair, so you can hold leaves between the two pieces as you lift a portion onto each plate.
How heavy are they?
They weigh 0.4KG, so there is a reassuring weight in the hand when you lift a full portion of salad from the bowl.
